American Honky-Tonk Bar Association Lyrics

If your paycheck depends on 

 The weather and the clock 

 If your conversation calls for 

 A little more than a coffee pot 

 If you need to pour your heart out 

 And try to rectify some situation 

 That you're facing 

 Contact your American Honky-Tonk Bar Association 

 

 When Uncle Sam dips in your pocket 

 For most things you don't mind 

 But when your dollar goes to all of those 

 Standing in a welfare line 

 Well rejoice you have a voice 

 If you're concerned about the destination 

 Of this great nation 

 It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association 

 

 It represents the hardhat 

 Gunrack, achin'-back 

 Over taxed, flag-wavin', fun-lovin' crowd 

 They're heart is in the music 

 And they love to play it loud 

 There's no forms or applications 

 There's no red tape administrations 

 It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association 

 

 We're all one big family 

 Throughout the cities and the towns 

 We don't reach for handouts 

 we reach for those who are down 

 And every local chapter has a seven day a week 

 Available consultation 

 For your frustration 

 It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association 

 

 It represents the mud flaps 

 Six pack, beer crack 

 Over-taxed, flag-wavin', fun-lovin' crowd 

 They're heart is in the music 

 And they love to play it loud 

 There's no forms or applications 

 There's no red tape administrations 

 It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association
