Joe Diffie, Honky Tonk Attitude Lyrics.

Artist: Joe Diffie
Song: Honky Tonk Attitude
Album: Honky Tonk Attitude

Well the beer’s on the bar
And the smoke fills the air
And there’s a fool in every corner
Man I just don’t care
Tight pants line dance stetson hats
And cowboy boots
They got friday night get right
Honky-Tonk attitude

Well the waitress never leaves you
With a half-empty glass
And every girl on the dance floor
Shakin’ her …well
It’s a two step three step
Outta step country mood
They got a friday night get right
Honky-Tonk attitude

Well now everybody knows
That’s where everybody goes
Just to dance away their blues
So leave your cares behind
It’s just a state of mind
What have you got to lose

Hey bartender pour us another round
We’re just gettin’ started
Don’t shut us down
We need a slow dance romanced
Last chance rendezvous
We need a friday night get right
Honky-Tonk attitude

Well now everybody knows
That’s where everybody goes
Just to dance away their blues
So leave your cares behind
It’s just a state of mind
What have you got to lose?

If you’ve got a friday night get right
Honky-Tonk attitude
You need a friday night get right
Honky-Tonk attitude

Joe Diffie, In My Own Backyard Lyrics.

Artist: Joe Diffie
Song: In My Own Backyard
Album: Honky Tonk Attitude

I thought that life was running off, leaving me behind
So like a fool I jumped the fence
Just to see what I could find
But love kept disappearing
Like children chasing fireflies in the dark
And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard

You’d never know it now but I used to have it all
A swing set and a plastic pool
A shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball
An angel with a glass of tea
Laughing at the kids and me all soaking wet
From washing that old car
And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard

That bare spot’s grown over where third base used to be
And the weeds have choked out all the flowers
But they can’t kill the memory
Lord, I’d love to run back home
But there’s no one there for me
And that grass I used to hate to mow, sure is looking green

You’d never know it now but I used to have it all
A swing set and a plastic pool
A shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball
An angel with a glass of tea laughing at the kids and me
All soaking wet from washing that old car
And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard

Whoa, you’d never know it now but I used to have it all
Once I had everything… in my own backyard
