Now, the smoke fills the air
In this honky-tonk bar.
And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be.
But I burned all my bridges;
I sank all my ships.
And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea.
--
Bartender's Blues

And now I wish I was somewhere other than here,
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer.
Yes, I wish I was somewhere other than here.
'Cause that great fillin' station holdup
Cost me two good years.

 

Jimmy Buffett

It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

You have by this time surely seen with your own eyes what your iron ships, with which you think you can accomplish wonders and on which you boast so much, can do against my junks; how one of them has been burned by one of my junks and has disappeared in smoke; how the others would have met with the same doom had they not taken to flight and gone out to sea.

I remember thinkin' that I could probably make about $5 if I'd go out and pick cotton all day. And I could make $5 dollars bein' in this honky-tonk — the guy will give me $5 a night, and I'll be in here where it's warm in the winter and cool in the summertime.

 

Buck Owens

 

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright.
He can play the honky tonk like anything,
Saving it up for Friday night.
With the Sultans... with the Sultans of Swing.
