Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Ice creates the water that’s no longer runnin' under it
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
The jukebox plays Hank, «I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry»
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, it’s a given
I’ll be L-I-V-N, livin'
We’ll dance on the bar 'til we’re sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it’s a given
I’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Neon lights flashing bright 'til you’re almost hypnotized
Waitress short skirt, gets it on by every guy
Comin' and goin', always rollin' with the flow
Bartender pourin' drinks, Código double shot
You think you’re tall and bulletproof until somebody says you’re not
You step outside thinkin' you’re gonna show 'em you are
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, it’s a given
We’ll be L-I-V-N, livin'
We’ll dance on the bar 'til we’re sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it’s a given
We’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Yeah that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walk in
I turned around, I'm not a stalker
Where you goin? Maybe I can help ya
My tank is full, and I'd be obliged to take ya.
I'm a country boy, I've got a 4 wheel drive
Pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy.
You sure look good, sittin' in my right seat
Buckle up, I'll take you through the five speeds
Wind it up, or I can slow it way down
In the woods or right uptown.
I'm a country boy, I've got a 4 wheel drive
Pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy.
Big 35's whinin' on the asphalt
Grabbin' mud, and slingin' up some red dirt
'Cause I'm a country boy.
My muffler's loud, dual Thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
Let me know when we're gettin' close
You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road.
I'm a country boy, I've got a 4 wheel drive
Pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy.
Bucket seats, soft as baby's new butt
Lockin' hubs, that'll take ya through a deep rut.
I'm a country boy, I've got a 4 wheel drive
Pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy.
I'm a country boy, I've got a 4 wheel drive
Pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy.
'Cause I'm a country boy.
Oh, I'm a country boy
A nice' little country boy...
Chorus:
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home country roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shanondoor River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
(chorus)
All my memories gather 'round her, miners lay there, stranger to Blue Water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
(chorus)
I hear her voice in the morning, how she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should’ve been home yesterday, yesterday
(chorus repeats 2x)
Take me home country roads, take me home country roads
Have a little love on a little honeymoon
You got a little and you got a little spoon
A little bitty house and a little bitty yard
Little bitty dog and a little bitty car
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
Little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
A little bitty baby in a little bitty gown
It'll grow up in a little bitty town
Big yellow bus and little bitty books
It all started with a little bitty look
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
Little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
You know you got a job and a little bitty check
Six pack of beer and television set
Little bitty world goes around and around
Little bit of silence and a little bit of sound
A good ole boy and a pretty little girl
Start all over in a little bitty world
A little bitty plan and a little bitty dream
It's all part of a little bitty scheme
Well, it's alright to be little bitty
Little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
