Gabe Lee - Honky Tonk Hell Lyrics

Honky Tonk Hell
Gabe Lee , Marcus King

18 wheeler, back road dealer, hundred different ways to ride 
If you'd have seen what I seen, done what I done you'd be lookin for a place to hide
Even if I had a shiny silver dollar every time I missed the promised land
I'd still be 2 bucks shy, at the back of line, cause they ain't ever gonna let me in

When my pride got the best of me 
When my pride got the best of me
I was a stuck up no good son of a gun til the good lord set me free
Found a way to put it all together
Tried to make the whole world see
Foolish pride begone! Glory Saint Mary! Hallelujah let me be!

Cold hard money cash and clothes, livin it up everyday 
Weekend trips down to Vegas right up until the repo came
There I was on the ground with the shit comin down til I saw shimmering light 
Lady Luck in a 2 piece bikini
Come to fly me home through the night 

When the dealer got ahold of me
When the dealer got ahold of me
I was a rollin, reelin, two time cheating 
Til the good lord set me free. 
Found a way to put it altogether
Tried to make the whole world see
Dirty dealin begone! Glory St. Mary! Hallelujah let me be!

Now Honky Tonk Hell is a hell of a place they got a big old dance room hall
Seats reserved for all the folks down in Nashville writing phonyass country songs
And if people ever get to askin, Mr. Gabe Lee how you end up here?
I look' em dead in the eye and my only reply is to hit' em with a mile long stare

When the devil got ahold of me
When the devil got ahold of me
I felt a black hole way down deep in my heart until good lord set me free
Found a way to put it altogether
Tried to make the whole world see
Punk ass devil begone! Glory Saint Mary! Hallelujah let me be!
Punk ass devil begone! Glory Saint Mary! Hallelujah let me be!
