When the sun goes down
On my side of town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
The whole world turns blue

There's a rundown bar
Cross the railroad tracks
I've got a table for two
Way in the back
Where i sit alone
And think of losing you

I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of this neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
The lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

I think of two young lovers
Running wild and free
I close my eyes
And sometimes see
You in the shadows
Of this smoke-filled room

No telling how many tears
I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That i've lied
Telling my poor heart
She'll come back someday
Oh, but i'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
The lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

The jukebox plays on
Drink by drink
The words of every sad song
Seem to say what i think
This hurt inside of me
Ain't never gonna end

Oh, but i'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
The lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

I thought we would always be together
The love we shared was gonna last forever
Once i was your one and only
Now here i sit, mister lonely

He'll hold you tonight, but i won't
What's he got that i don't
The one thing i thought i'd never lose
He's got you

Beneath this dark cloud you left me under
Can't sort it out so i'll sit and wonder
Tell myself, "it hurts, don't it"
Now my empty heart will be forever haunted

He'll hold you tonight, but i won't
What's he got that i don't
The one thing i thought i'd never lose
He's got you

He'll hold you tonight, but i won't
What's he got that i don't
The one thing i thought i'd never lose
He's got you
He's got you

(ronnie dunn/kim williams/lonnie wilson)

I'm the life of the party, baby, since you said good-bye
Just ask old joe, he knows, i'm here every night
And that good old boy in the mirror looking around for you
It ain't me
And that's the honky tonk truth.

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, i ain't drinking, i ain't crying
I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

Don't think i'll come crawling back 'cause i don't miss you
If you walked up and puckered up, girl
I wouldn't bother to kiss you
And that washed up, broken down fool
Hanging out on that stool well it ain't me
Now that's the honky tonk truth.

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, i ain't drinking, i ain't crying
I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

(don cook/kix brooks/ronnie dunn)

There's not a heart that ain't been broken
A lie that ain't been spoken
A shattered dream that brand new love can't fix
I've been burned, i've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

Let's dance a little closer
I'll help you get over
The hurt you thought you never could forget
The bitter tears you tasted
All those nights you wasted
Don't look back
It's just whiskey under the bridge

All those nights of drinking
Finally got me thinking
Heartache is just a waste of time
I've been burned, i've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

All those nights of drinking
Finally got me thinking
Heartache is just a waste of time
I've been burned, i've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

She's got a t-top camaro with a scoop on the hood
And two big speakers blasting johnny b. goode
Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime
She plays with my heart and messes with my mind
Acts like madonna but she listens to merle
Rock my world little country girl

She wears snakeskin boots made by calvin klein
And cheap sunglasses from the five and dime
All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks
She got an "a" in math and never cracked a book
Sure looks good in her denim and pearls
Rock my world little country girl

Chorus:
Rock my world
Drag me out on the floor
Dance with me till i can't dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine

I tell her that i love her but it ain't enough
She says i got to learn to loosen up
Get a little wild on saturday night
But make sure she's home before the mornin' light
Sunday she's all ribbons and curls
Rock my world little country girl

(repeat chorus)

Rock my world little country girl

(kix brooks/ronnie dunn/don cook)

She said hey cowboy get off of that couch
Yeah, the party's on and we're goin' out
I got my low cut dress and my knee highboots
I'm like money to burn and nothing to lose
You're the man of the house you better think of something
'cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing

She said i been cooped up in this house all week
It's time to pick it up and move it out to party street
She said saddle up hoss it's your lucky day
And i'm a she cat tiger comin' out of the cage
We can go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing

She's hard to handle, a little high strung
I'll see her bet and i'll raise her one
I love when she gets wound up
I'm jack of hearts, she's my lady luck

We re gonna find a little place where we can rip and roar
We gonna cut a deep groove in that hardwood floor
Set up the shooters and break out the green
Throw a whole row of quarters in the boogie machine
We gonna turn up the heat and keep the jukebox humpin'
'cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
Go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She said babe you better think of something
'cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing

(ronnie dunn/don cook)

Hello miss heartbroke
Sit your sweet self down
It's good to see your dancin' feet back out on the town
Rumor has it you've had trouble with your man
I've had trouble of my own, i think i understand

Chorus:
We'll put out your old flame
We'll build a bigger fire
I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher
And if his memory comes around
And you think you still care
We'll burn that bridge when we get there

Come on let your hair down we'll have us a time
He had his chance with you now all i want is mine
Give me half an hour or just a dance or two
And you'll forget old what's his name and how he walked out on you

(repeat chorus twice)

We'll burn that bridge when we get there
Burn it down baby

(ronnie dunn)

She's dressed to kill in a dress he bought her
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
She's come to dance a dance or two
And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through

She found out the hard way about him
She's out to find out how she'll do without him
Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding
By the way she's drinking his memory's drowin'

Chorus:
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
'cause he's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now

She walks by and every head turns
You can see how hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
It's too late and that's too bad

(repeat chorus 3 times)

(ronnie dunn)

I get out on the redneck side every now and then
Call up my baby she comes over and the party begins
She's a slick nickel she's right on the money
I wouldn't give her up for a thousand buckle bunnies
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little miss honky tonk

She's got my number, knows my favorite songs on the jukebox
Goes to gettin' down like crazy and the whole place rocks
We'll have a few and get to feelin' right
She'll be my queen bee i'll be her neon knight
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little miss honky tonk

Oh oh i love her so
Stand back give her room boys and watch her go

She's a looker, heads turn when she comes through the door
A show stopper when she gets to goin' out on the floor
We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like i'm a king when i'm out with her highness
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little miss honky tonk

Oh oh i love her so
Stand back give her room boys and watch her go

We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like i'm a king when i'm out with her highness
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little miss honky tonk
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little miss honky tonk

(ronnie dunn)

Out in the country past the city limits sign
Well there's a honky tonk near the county line
The joint starts jumpin everynight when the sun goes down
They got whiskey women music & smoke
It's where all the country folk go to boot scootin' boogie

I've got a good job i work hard for my money
When it's quittin time i hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck & let the horses run
I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie


Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

The bartender asks me says son what'll it be
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
The dance floors hoppin' & it's hotter than the fourth of july
I see outlaws, inlaws crooks & straights all out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie

Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie
