[Verse 1]
I'll bet them bartenders been missing me
And I sure could use an old familiar crowd
The lack thereof my get-right is killing me
But I'll come to when I walk through those swinging doors tonight
[Chorus]
Gettin' back onto a-honky tonk time
Where my world goes 'round three quarters at a time
If I can make it through the thought of you and him in just one night
Gettin' back onto that honky tonk time
[Verse 2]
You said my life was surrounded by
Too much booze, cheatin', and lies
I'd like to thank you for the truth 'cause I found it
And you'd be glad to know I've finally seen the light
[Chorus]
Gettin' back onto a-honky tonk time
Where my world goes 'round three quarters at a time
If I can make it through the thought of you and him in just one night
Gettin' back on to that honky tonk time
Hell, I'm gettin' back onto that honky tonk time
