As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool
Pourin' cold ones down
Watchin' hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical eveninAs the honky tonk turns

Last night I watched Charlene fall in love
For the third time this week that I know of
But tonight she'll be here feeling sorry for herself
Drinkin' like there's no tomorrow
And leaning on somebody else
As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool
Pourin' cold ones down
Watchin' hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical eveninAs the honky tonk turns
