God Put A Honky Tonk In My Heart
I'm a preacher's kid, and while I meant this song to be a honky tonk romp it is also increasingly obvious it's true: God did put a honky tonk in my heart!

There's a magic little world like none I've ever found
You don't have to lift a finger - unless you want another round
In this world you can dance, you can laugh with your friends
You can quench whatever feels parched
Oh, God put a honky tonk in my heart.

Whenever I feel lonely, whenever I get low
When life gets a little too sticky, I know right where to go
The straight & narrow road to happy hour heaven
Is a cinch to tell apart
Since God put a honky tonk in my heart

Chorus:
With the jukebox turned up high, the lights all turned down low
Does the world still turn outside, ah, we may never know
If the Lord had bigger plans for me, well, He blew it from the start
Oh, God put a honky tonk in my heart

I feel like I'm alive again, I feel just like a champ
Like I could fit all my troubles on the back of a postage stamp
When I walk back into the Hideout, pull up
A barstool and put it in park
'Cause God put a honky tonk in my heart
