            HONKY-TONK OPERA

With all the neon lights to set the stage
There's gonna be some drama in this place
And when the music brings the room to life
The curtain opens on the whole charade

     It's a Honky-Tonk Opera
     I know the scene all too well
     It's a Honky-Tonk Opera
     So many stories to tell

Pretty women draw a sea of hats
Men push closer tryin' to watch 'em dance
Just when you think there's gonna be a fight
Someone hollers out, "I'll drink to that!"

     It's a Honky-Tonk Opera
     I know the scene all too well
     It's a Honky-Tonk Opera
     So many stories to tell

It's the kind of show you shouldn't miss
Costumes change and the plot has twists
But all the characters stay the same
And it's been goin' on for years like this

     It's a Honky-Tonk Opera
     I know the scene all too well
     It's a Honky-Tonk Opera
     So many stories to tell
     So many stories to tell
