Well the day it ends when the sun comes up
and starts when the sun goes down.
GOut on the back roads and on the back streets
D Cof every farm and factory town.
There in the world of weekly wage,
G Cthere's always a place out there,
G D C D Dand the names and the faces are the same----everywhere.
ChorusG D C
Well the room is full, it's a Friday night,
G D Cwe all want to hear "Louie, Louie"
It's been a long, hard day and a long hard life,
G D Cand this is how we make it through it.
Em DIt's a blue collar place, a red blooded crowd,
tonight everything's all right,
G D C pause
In honky-tonk Amer-----ica.
There's a flashing sign on a rain soaked street,
that lights up just about dark.
GA welcome beakon on a lost highway
D Cwhen you're weary and when you've lost heart.
Never say it's lonelyness,
G Cit's only the drinks and the band,
G D Cbut something brings us back here again,
and again.
Well the room is full, it's a Friday night.
We all want to hear "Proud Mary."
G D CIt's been a long hard day and a long hard life,
