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 evenin'
As the honky tonk turns.
Ol' Frank always plays the same ol' song
And sometimes he even thinks that he's George Jones
But it tears ol' Lester up to hear that jukebox play his life
And he'll tell us once again
Just how he lost his wife.
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 evenin'
As the honky tonk turns.
--- Instrumental ---
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 evenin'
As the honky tonk turns.
It's just a typical evenin'
As the honky tonk turns...

The king of broken hearts
Doesn't ask much from his friends
And he has quite a few of them
They know he'll understand
That's just the way it goes.
The king of broken hearts
Doesn't know he's a king
He's trying to forget other things
Like some ol' chilly scenes
He's walkin' through alone.
He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in'
He recalls how his heart got broken
And how it's still that way.
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
He can smile while he's cryin' inside
We know he'll be brave tonight
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
--- Instrumental ---
He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in'
He recalls how his heart got broken
And how it's still this way.
The king of broken hearts
Thinks that he's an ol' fool
He's a little bit like me and you
So what's a king like that suppose to do
With all that blue time?
We know he'll be brave tonight
'Cause he's the king of broken hearts.
He's the king of broken hearts...

You're gonna get me into trouble
I knew it right off the bat
You're gonna get me into trouble
If you keep looking like that.
I may be alone but there's someone at home
I just know I'm making a mistake
A woman like you walks in a plce like this
You can almost hear the promises break.
You're gonna make me need an alibi
You're gonna make me have to watch my back
You're gonna make me have to tell a bunch of lies
You're gonna make me have to cover my tracks.
Well I told her I wouldn't
I thought that I couldn't
Now I'm so ashamed
When I look at you
It's all that I can do
To think about what's her name.
You're gonna get me into trouble
I knew it right off the bat
You're gonna get me into trouble
If you keep looking like that.
Dont' look like that, baby
No, no, no, no.
--- Instrumental ---
You're gonna mix my emotions
And you're gonna tangle my net
You're gonna make me do somethin'
That I'm afraid I won't regret.
I may be alone but there's someone at home
I just know I'm making a mistake
A woman like you walks into a place like this
You can almost here the promises break.
You're gonna get me into trouble.
You're gonna get me into trouble.
You know you're gonna get me.
You know you're gonna get me.
You know you're gonna get me in trouble now don't you?..

One more chance, Lord, I've had so many
The last time you said next time it's the end
But I kept on throwin' rocks at the window of our future
Then beggin' your forgiveness once again.
Now, here I am with your letter in my hand
Through the tears I see the truth in every line
After all the times I've broken your heart
I think I've finally broken mine.
--- Instrumental ---
You've stood toe to toe and gone the distance
Never givin' up on me without a fight
Believin' that I'll change, and be the man you see in me
Instead of chasin' good-time shadows through the night.
Now, here I am with your letter in my hand
Through the tears I see the truth in every line
After all the times I've broken your heart
I think I've finally broken mine.
I think I've finally broken mine...
--- Instrumental to fade ---

It was a girl's night out and I was sittin' at home
When brother-in-law called me on the phone
He said, Son, let's you and me go steppin' out
I found a little place this girls know nothin' about.
Well, I knew when we crossed that county line
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A mountain of a man was takin' money outside
I saw a line of Harley's and some four-wheel drives
I said, Brother-in-law I think we better steer clear
Don't tell me that you really want to go in here
I ain't a fortune teller but I kinda got a vibe
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wrong place, wrong time
Lord, I must be outta my mind
If we ever get of this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives?
I was mindin' my business, sittin' on a stool
Brother-in-law was actin' like a fool
He had a tattooed lady out on the dance floor
And they were doin' a dance I'd never seen before
Then the bartender said that's the bouncer's wife
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wrong place, wrong time
Lord, I must be outta my mind
If we ever get of this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives.
That mountain of a man came runnin' inside
The tattoed lady pulled a switch-blade knife
I thought Lord have mercy, we've reached the end
Then the local police came and hauled us in.
We were standing there in front of the night court judge
There was sixteen dollars between the two of us
I said, Judge I'd rather spend my life in jail
Then to have to call home to make my bail.
He said, four hundred dollars and you're gonna pay the fine
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wrong place, wrong time
Lord I must be outta my mind
If we ever get ouf this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives?
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives?
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time...

I May Be A Fool
Mark Chesnutt
I won't be runnin' back into your arms this time
Don't be surprised when you can't have your way
You didn't want my heart but to control my mind
I guess you thought this all was just a game
You tried so hard to keep me here just hangin' on
You loved to see me dancin' on the string
The benefit of doubt was given much too long
I'm tired of playing out this same old scene
I may be a fool for thinking that your love was true
I may be a fool for thinking I'll get over you
Even though it hurts admitting that it has to end
I may be a fool, but never yours again
< Instrumental >
How long will it take until you see the light
How many hearts will break until you learn
Don't you understand that love's not really blind
One day you'll be the one who's gettin' burned
I may be a fool for thinking that your love was true
I may be a fool for thinking I'll get over you
Even though it hurts admitting that it has to end
I may be a fool, but never yours again
I may be a fool, but never yours again...

Don't get me wrong, I'm doing all right
Can't you see I'm OK
I'm not at home all alone every night
I'm out here dancing old memories away
But it wouldn't hurt to have wings
To lift me above all the pain of the past
And your mind-wrecking love
They say time can fly like a magical thing
But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings
I don't see things like love any more
The rose-colored glasses are gone
I won't be fooled like I was before
I'm learning now how to fly on my own
But it wouldn't hurt to have wings
To lift me above all the pain of the past
And your mind-wrecking love
They say time can fly like a magical thing
But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings
I'm gonna fly like an eagle
And rise above it all
But it wouldn't hurt to have wings
To lift me above all the pain of the past
And your mind-wrecking love
They say time can fly like a magical thing
But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings
No, it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings

Pride's Not Hard To Swallow
Mark Chesnut
I wish you'd look who's crawlin' back to you
I never thought I'd live to see today
I swore to you the day
I left, this time I'd go for good
And I was even proud enough to tell myself I could
And it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
It took a lot of missin' you, and things I left behind
Intending to keep goin', but the goin' got too rough
And pride's not hard to swallow
Once you chew it long enough
I know we won't always see eye to eye
But if you'll take me back this time I'll really try
So many things I should have done, so much I failed to do
I've never needed any one as much as I need you
And it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
It took a lot of missin' you, and things I left behind
Intending to keep goin', but the goin' got too rough
And pride's not hard to swallow
Once you chew it long enough
No pride's not hard to swallow
Once you chew it long enough...

Settlin' For What They Get
Mark Chesnutt
From the table to the jukebox
Is just a few short steps
Where a dollar will buy a sad song,
And a few strong drinks to help
Them ol' lonely hearts and honky tonks,
Searchin' for happiness
Tryin' to find what they want
And settlin' for what they get
From the promise of forever
To the waving of goodbye
To many hearts are broken,
'Cause too many lips have lied
To those lonely hearts, and honky tonks,
Searchin' for happiness
Tryin' to find what they want
And settlin' for what they get
So step right up, and wish me luck
And play that song again
The one about a loser
Who just can't seem to win
And all those lonely hearts and
Honky tonks searchin' for happiness
Tryin' to find what they want
And settlin' for what they get
< Instrumental >
So step right up, and wish me luck
And play that song again
The one about a loser
Who just can't seem to win
And all those lonely hearts and
Honky tonks searchin' for happiness
Tryin' to find what they want
And settlin' for what they get
Tryin' to find what they want
And settlin' for what they get...

Even though I've only known her for a couple of beers
In just one more slow dance we'll be leavin' here
Holding each other like we'll never let go
Pretending it's love even though we both know.
We'll be strangers come mornin', again
And realize we're not even friends
'Cause daylight will take us from a world of pretend
And we'll be strangers come mornin', again.
--- Instrumental ---
Her soft brown eyes bring comfort to me
And in my arms she'll find the strength that she needs
I know it's not right but it don't feel that wrong
And we'll soon face what we've known all night long.
We'll be strangers come mornin', again
And realize we're not even friends
'Cause daylight will take us from a world of pretend
And we'll be strangers come mornin', again.
And we'll be strangers come mornin', again...
