Well, if go down in history
I'll owe it to this misery
From all the lies you told to me
And this poor old heart you broke

Now people, they might walk on by
And never even recognize
That I'm a legend in disguise
Not just your average Joe

You'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor
If you look up a world-class fool
And I'll say it once again, I'm the best that's ever been
At drinkin' doubles up on this stool
Well, go on, you can shake my hand
Everybody gonna know my name
When they hang my star behind the bar
At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame (woo)

Now see those bottles in a line
And every one's a friend of mine (aw, mine too)
And we have us a real good time
In spite of all the pain

But being famous has a price
There's smoke and mirrors and neon lights
I'm livin' proof that lonely nights
Can drive a man insane

You'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor
If you look up a world-class fool
And I'll say it once again, I'm the best that's ever been
At drinkin' doubles up on this stool
Well, go on, you can shake my hand
Everybody's gonna know my name
When they hang my star behind the bar
At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame

Well, you'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor
If you look up a world-class fool
And I'll say it once again, I'm the best that's ever been
At drinkin' doubles up on this stool
Well, go on, you can shake my hand
'Cause everybody's gonna know my name
When they hang my star behind the bar
At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame
Yeah, they'll hang our stars behind the bar
At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame

Aw, yeah
Cheers, brother
