Down To The Honkytonk
Jake Owen Lyrics

Got a house down a back road
I have a humble home situated in a secluded area away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I got a flag on the front porch
I proudly display the colors of my country outside my house.

I got a dog named Waylon
I have a furry companion who is a loyal and loving member of my family.

I got a driveway that needs pavin'
My property could use some improvements, but I am content with what I have now.

I got a boat with a two stroke
I own a motorboat with a small but powerful engine that can take me out on the water for a good time.

A couple "guaranteed to make ya laugh" jokes
I have a sense of humor and like to tell jokes that I know will entertain my friends and family.

I got friends in low places
I have a close-knit group of friends who may not be wealthy or famous, but are true and trustworthy.

Yeah, life is what you make it
I believe that I have the power to shape my own destiny and create a fulfilling life for myself.

I might not end up in the Hall of Fame
I know that I might not achieve widespread recognition or fame during my lifetime.

With a star on a sidewalk with my name
I might not have my name immortalized on a plaque or marker for all to see and admire.

Or a statue in my hometown when I'm gone
Even after I am no longer alive, I might not have a physical monument built in my honor.

Nobody gonna name their babies after me
My influence and legacy might not be significant enough to inspire others to name their children after me.

I might not go down in history
My achievements and contributions may not be significant enough to be recorded in history books.

But I'll go down to the honkytonk
I will enjoy my time with friends and family by going to the local bar or club and listening to country music.

I got a girl, named Shelia
I have a significant other who is outgoing and fun-loving.

She goes batshit on tequila
My girlfriend can get wild and crazy after a few drinks of tequila.

Got a job, that gets the job done
I have a reliable source of income that allows me to live a comfortable life.

I got a loan at the bank, it's a big one
I have taken out a significant loan from the bank, which demonstrates my ability to handle financial responsibilities.

The only place you might see my name
The only place where my name might be prominently displayed is on a wall in a bar or club where people go for a good time.

Is on a wall "for a good time call"
My name might be associated with a fun and lighthearted phrase that encourages others to let loose and enjoy themselves.

I'm a local legend on a Friday night
In my small town, I might be recognized as a regular and popular figure at the local bar or club on weekend nights.

Then a Pabst Blue Ribbon, neon light
I enjoy drinking beer from a standard and iconic brand at the bar, which is highlighted by a bright neon sign.

I go down to the honkytonk
I enjoy spending my free time with friends and family at the local bar or club that plays country music.
