Honky Tonk World

[Verse 1]
Well, there used to be a time when candlelight and wine
Was all that a woman would need
Man, you'd be a winner if you took her out to dinner
Or a movie she'd been wantin' to see
But the world has turned and it's time you learned
That the old ain't working no more
Yeah, the rules have changed and it's brand new game
And buddy, if you want to score

[Chorus]
You got to get off the couch, get out of the house
Long about Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

[Verse 2]
Well, sooner or later all you couch potaters
Are gonna be the lonely ones
If you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up
And you better know your Brooks from your Dunns
Don't even think that your Engelbert Humperdink
Record's gonna turn her on
'Cause, Mister, you can bet if you don't know the steps
Then you're gonna get left at home

[Chorus]
You got to get off the couch, get out of the house
Long about Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

[Verse 3]
Now if you were Cro-Magnon you'd be draggin'
Them woman by the hair to your cave
You'd be down on your knees citing them soliloquies
Back in Romeo's day
Yeah, and you'd be kind of nifty if we were in the fifties
And you had a cool car to drive
But we're living in the nineties, so you better shake your hiney
Or you're gonna get left behind

[Chorus]
You got to get off the couch, get out of the house
Long about Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

[Outro]
No, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world
