Christmas In A Honky-Tonk

There’s tinsel hanging

from the glowing sign

Somebody’s been decorating

since quarter past nine

The jukebox is playing

an old country song

And everybody’s been dancing all night long

There’s a Santa hat

sitting on the bar

A Christmas tree leaning next to a guitar

The bartender’s wearing a red velvet bow

And nobody’s thinking about going home

It’s Christmas in a honky-tonk tonight

Fiddle’s playing and the lights are shining bright

Cowboy boots are tapping on the old hardwood floor

Everybody’s dancing like they never danced before Forget the snow

and the silent nights back home We’ve got Christmas in a honky-tonk

There’s a girl in red boots

by the Christmas tree

She smiled across the room and came dancing toward me

She said, “Are you gonna

sit there all night?” I said,

“Not if you’re asking me

to dance tonight”

The fiddle kicked in

and the piano rolled

She spun me around

like a story I’d been told

We laughed so hard

that I lost my hat And somewhere around midnight,

I wasn’t getting it back

There’s a preacher at the corner buying one more round A cowboy

singing louder than the jukebox sound Somebody’s telling stories that nobody believes

And Santa’s on the dance floor trying to two-step with the ladies

When the clock hit twelve,

we raised our glasses high

To the ones we love and the years gone by

Maybe Christmas

ain’t supposed to look the same

Maybe it’s wherever you hear somebody call your name

It’s Christmas

in a honky-tonk tonight Fiddle’s playing

and the lights are shining bright

Cowboy boots are tapping on the old hardwood floor

Everybody’s dancing like they never danced before There’s a little bit of

Christmas in every song

And when the night is over,

we’ll still be holding on

So pour one more round before we head back home It’s Christmas

in a honky-tonk

Yeah, Christmas in a honky-tonk… One more song,

boys.

Then we’ll go home.
