I like my next-door-neighbor
|
We do each other favors sometimes
|
We threw somethin' on the grill
|
Sat around and chilled just the other night
|
And we talk about our lawns and the goin's on
|
In our neighborhood
|
He's a real nice guy...that's all fine and good
|
|
He ain't my honky tonk friends
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Nobody really understands me like them
|
I love the songs that they sing, I love the drinks that they drink
|
I love the dances they dance
|
They don't make fun of my drawl, keep somethin' cold and tall in my hand
|
I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
|
I love my honky tonk friends
|
|
I like my growin' up buddies, we still keep in touch now and then
|
Them folks down at the office really ain't all that stiff
|
I met some real good people underneath the steeple in town
|
I'll still make time for them, but as for right now
|
|
I want my honky tonk friends
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well, we light each other's smokes and we bend each other's ear
|
And we laugh at each other's stupid jokes and we buy each other beers
|
Then we lose our butts in pool but we win it back in darts
|
And we lend each other shoulders when someone breaks our hearts.
|
|
I love my honky tonk friends
|
Nobody really understands me like them
|
I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
|
I love my honky tonk friends
|
|
I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
|
I love my honky tonk friends
|
