Race Ricketts - Honky Tonk Hell Lyrics

Well it's good to see you smilin'
Good to see you're doin' well
Good to see you makin' waves
And a name out of yourself
We all said that you'd make it
We all knew that you will
Not a single person's bitter
It's all uphill from here

Well my parents say they're proud
Of the man I've come to be
But I can't say I believe 'em
I ain't even proud of me
Just a burned-out twenty-somethin'
With a four year degree
That I'll probably never use
Because the bar just needs to see I.D.

Chasin' white lines on the highway
Chasin' white lines off a mirror
It's a hundred-fifty decibels
Pumped straight into your ear
There ain't no rest for the wicked
On these stay awake pills
Out here, out here
In Honky Tonk Hell

Just another good ol' boy
That plays the same four chords
Like a thousand boys just like you
Like a thousand boys before
They will take you as their hero
As they dance and scream for more
'Til they can't recall your name
Or the reason that you came here for

Chasin' white lines on the highway
Chasin' white lines off a mirror
It's a hundred-fifty decibels
Pumped straight into your ear
There ain't no rest for the wicked
On these stay awake pills
Out here, out here
In Honky Tonk Hell
In Honky Tonk Hell

Chasin' white lines on the highway
Chasin' white lines off a mirror
It's a hundred-fifty decibels
Pumped straight into your ear
There ain't no rest for the wicked
On these stay awake pills
Out here, out here
I said out here, out here
In Honky Tonk Hell
In Honky Tonk Hell
In Honky Tonk Hell
Honky Tonk Hell
