| My grandmother owned a nightclub on the arkansas-okahoma line
momma put me on a greyhoundand i went
to stay with her in the summertime
i'd box up those empty longnecks and stack'em in the back and make
a hand
then at night she'd let me sneak out of the kitchen and sit in with the band
yesi have sacked some quarterbacks and broke my share of bones along the way
i knew it wouldnt
last foreversemi-pro always means semi-paid
i started climbin' drillin' rigim oil field trash and
proud as i can be
then i took my songs and guitar and sang'em to a man from tennesse
i've played every beer joint tavern from new york city out to pasadena
every corn dog fair and rodeo
and sold out every basketball arena
i like to get down with my boys in afghanistan and baghdad city
too
i am a redwhite and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U
a star can't burn foreverand the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
but the glass wont
ever be half empty in my optimistic mind
i'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it up and
play it loud
as long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a honkytonk crowd
ive played every beer joint tavern from new york city out to pasadena
every corn dog fair and rodeo
and sold out ever basketball arena
i like to get down with my boys in afghanistan and baghdad city
too
son im a redwhiteand blue blood graduate of honkytonk U
that's right a redwhiteand blue
blood graduate of honkytonk U
