I stopped in to have a cold one
With some old friends of mine
They were surprised to see me
I hadn't been here in quite some time
I asked the waitress to play the jukebox
I told her no sad songs
I've got the lovesick blues
I'm in a honkytonk mood
Tonight I'm going to tie one on
They say you can't drink a memory away
But tonight I'm gonna try
Cause she left me with a bad heartache
And that's a good enough reason why
I need my honkytonk friends around me
And someone to drive me home
Keep that music up loud cause there ain't no doubt
Tonight I'm going to tie one on
My friends all knew what was wrong with me
When I walked in the door
They all know me pretty good
And I've had this look before
I'll find a honkytonk Angel
To dance with all night long
My baby left me I'm in misery
So tonight I'm going to tie one on
They say you can't drink a memory away
But tonight I'm gonna try
Cause she left me with a bad heartache
And That's a good enough reason why
I need my honkytonk friends around me
And someone to drive me home
Keep that music up loud cause there ain't no doubt
Tonight I'm gonna tie one on
Keep that music up loud cause there ain't no doubt
Tonight I'm gonna tie one on
