Toby Keith - Honkytonk U Lyrics

My grandmother owned a nightclub 
on the Arkansas-Oklahoma line 
Momma put me on a Greyhound, 
and 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 

Yes, I have sacked some quarterbacks and broke 
my share of bones along the way 
I knew it wouldn't last forever, 
semi-pro always means semi-paid 
I started climbin' drillin' rigs, 
I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be 
Then I took my songs and guitar 
and sang 'em to a man from Tennessee 

CHORUS 
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 from Afghanistan and Baghdad City too 
I am a red, white and blue blooded graduate of Honkytonk U 

A star can't burn forever, and the brightest ones will someday lose 
their shine 
But the glass won't ever be half empty in my optimistic mind 
I'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it ip and play it 
loud, As long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a honkytonk 
crowd 

REPEAT CHORUS 

That's right, a red, white and blue blooded graduate of Honkytonk U
