My Grandmother Owned A Nightclub On The Arkansas-okahoma Line
Momma Put Me On A Greyhound, And I Went
To Stay With Her In The Summertime
I'd Box Up Those Empty Longnecks And Stack'em In The Back And Make
A Hand
Then At Night She'd Let Me Sneak Out Of The Kitchen And Sit In With The Band
Yes, I Have Sacked Some Quarterbacks And Broke My Share Of Bones Along The Way
I Knew It Wouldnt
Last Forever, Semi-pro Always Means Semi-paid
I Started Climbin' Drillin' Rig, Im Oil Field Trash And
Proud As I Can Be
Then I Took My Songs And Guitar And Sang'em To A Man From Tennesse

I've Played Every Beer Joint Tavern From New York City Out To Pasadena
Every Corn Dog Fair And Rodeo
And Sold Out Every Basketball Arena
I Like To Get Down With My Boys In Afghanistan And Baghdad City
Too
I Am A Red, White And Blue Blood Graduate Of Honkytonk U

A Star Can't Burn Forever, And The Brightest Ones Will Someday Lose Their Shine
But The Glass Wont
Ever Be Half Empty In My Optimistic Mind
I'll Still Have A Song To Sing And A Band To Turn It Up And
Play It Loud
As Long As There's A Bar Room With A Corner Stage And A Honkytonk Crowd

Ive Played Every Beer Joint Tavern From New York City Out To Pasadena
Every Corn Dog Fair And Rodeo
And Sold Out Ever Basketball Arena
I Like To Get Down With My Boys In Afghanistan And Baghdad City
Too
Son Im A Red, White, And Blue Blood Graduate Of Honkytonk U
That's Right A Red, White, And Blue
Blood Graduate Of Honkytonk U
