I got these calluses from all those nights I spent playing a telecaster until my fingers bled bud light I got this scar in a beer bar brawl Outside of Tuscaloosa Stiched it up in a bathroom stall And I got this tattoo in the back of a pool room In East Tennessee Oh I've got a long Honkytonk history See this solid gold watch and chain I took it off a texas oil tycoon In a back room poker game Look at these holes in my tailgate They're from Susie Johnson's husband's Snumb nosed thirty eight Well, thank god he's a bad shot And i had that toolbox between him and me Right or Wrong That's my Honkytonk History Chorus 1 I love the smell of cigarettes And whiskey on a woman's breath The sound of outlaw music sets me free Blame it on my honkytonk history Im just like my daddy And my daddy's daddy And his daddy before him Im just like my daddy And his daddy's daddy And his daddy before him Chorus 2 I love the smell of cigarettes and whiskey on a woman's breath the sound of outlaw music sets me free Right or wrong, i'm just carrying on My honkytonk, honkytonk history yeah
