Well, if I go down in history, I'll owe it to this misery

From all the lies you told to me and this poor ol' heart you broke

Now people, they might walk on by and never even recognize

That I'm a legend in disguise, not just your average Joe

You'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor

If you look up a world-class fool

And I'll say it once again, I'm the best that's ever been

At drinkin' doubles up on this stool

Well, go on, you can shake my hand

Everybody's gonna know my name

When they hang my star behind the bar

At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame

Whoo

Haha hahaha, ha ha

Now see those bottles in a line, every one's a friend of mine (aw, mine too)

And we have us a real good time in spite of all the pain

But bein' famous has a price, there's smoke and mirrors and neon lights

I'm livin' proof that lonely nights can drive a man insane

You'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor

If you look up a world-class fool

And I'll say it once again, I'm the best that's ever been

At drinkin' doubles up on this stool

Well, go on, you can shake my hand

Everybody's gonna know my name

When they hang my star behind the bar

At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame

Well, you'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor

If you look up a world-class fool

And I'll say it once again, I'm the best that's ever been

At drinkin' doubles up on this stool

Well, go on, you can shake my hand

Everybody's gonna know my name

When they hang my star behind the bar

At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame

Yeah, they'll hang our stars behind the bar

At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame

Aw, yeah

Cheers, brother
