A
The jukebox in the corner is playin Whiskey River,
A                                     E7
The neon star shines bright above the bar,
E7                                                                                                          
There's laughin dancin shootin pool, cryin drinkin lonely fool, 
                                           A
And people here that don't know where they are

[Verse 2]
A
It's the kind of place you go to, when you have no one to turn to, to,
A                                   D
To help you ease your pain and misery
D      E7
It's a hangout for the losers, and a hideout for the boozers,
E7                                      A
And a place to go for lonely fools like me

[Chorus]

A           D                   A
It's just a honky tonk, a Texas honky tonk,
A         E7                           A
Where the flipping of the tops and the music never stops,
A           D                   A
It's just a honky tonk, a Texas honky tonk,
A   D              E7                     A
But it's become my home since you've been gone

[Verse 3]

A
I used to think that someday, we might get back together,
A                                      E7
I couldn't stand the thought of losing you
E7
But I must accept reality, that you're not coming back to me
E7                                       A
You've found your happiness with someone new

[Verse 4]
A
So I sit here in this same old chair, pretending that I just don't care
A                               D
Trying to forget your love somehow
E7
From the top of the world, to the bottom of the bottle
E7                                  A
I've sank too deep to ever pull out now,

[Chorus]

A            D                   A
Here in this honky tonk, a Texas honky tonk,
A         E7                           A
Where the flipping of the tops and the music never stops,
A           D                   A
It's just a honky tonk, a Texas honky tonk,
A   D              E7                     A
But it's become my home since you've been gone
D              E7                     A
It's become my home since you've been gone
