Honky-Tonk n'Holler

(V1)
An old friend from out west Texas way,
Said, "My best days are all done."
Said, "The one thing that's defined my life,
"I guess is havin' too much fun."
Said, "I ain't feelin' sorry for myself,
"I've got a plan for my old age,
"I think a honky-tonk with a drive-thru,
"Could be the latest, greatest craze!"
(Chorus)
"Yeah, at my 'Honky-Tonk n'Holler,'
"Ya' roll your window down say,
" 'YO! I'll take that cute Texas Two-Stepper,
" 'To-Go! ' "
(V2)
Del said, "I've checked the competition,
"And I've done all of my research:
"We can't be closer than two-thousand
"Feet of a church!"
"You'll hear only country music,
"And they'll play it nice and loud!
"And my roller skating waitresses,
"Will really wow the crowd!"
Chorus
(Bridge)
"There're all kinds of roadhouse jukejoints,
"But none that will compete.
" 'Cause the Honky-Tonk n'Holler'll be
"Jumpin' twenty-four hours,
"Seven days a week!"
(V3)
About two years ago, Old Delmer died,
It was the ending of an age.
I never thought about his crazy plan,
'Til I was in Reno one day,
When the clerk at my hotel said,
"Sir, if you're looking for some fun?
"There's a new honky-tonk,
"With a drive-through . . .
"Down the road from the 'Honey-Bunch.'
"It's called, ' Del's Honky-Tonk n'Holler ',
"You roll your window down say, 'YO!'
"Sir, get that cute, Texas, Two Stepper,
"To-Go!"
"Uh, the nurse is kinda nice. . .
"And the Secretary. . .
"Hell, sir they're all good!"
