[Verse 1]
Well, the hippies and the bikers, they all hang around
A little dive bar on the outskirts of town
Where I play my songs every Tuesday night
For an empty tip jar and a couple Coors Lights
[Verse 2]
Been cuttin' my teeth, been payin' my dues
I leave my heart on the stage 'cause there's nothin' left to lose
I give you my soul with every song I sing
But I know damn well nobody's listening
[Chorus]
Hey, it's a pretty rough crowd
Woah, good luck gettin' all of your gear out
They just wanna get drunk, don't care about the music
And every other night, somebody's left toothless
Even Patrick Swayze couldn't cool this place down
Welcome to the honky-tonkin' Vernon's Roadhouse
[Verse 3]
Well, Vernon bought the place in 2011
It used to be a little honky-tonk heaven
But somethin' went wrong and somethin' went south
Now only up-and-comers play Vernon's Roadhouse
[Chorus]
Hey, it's a pretty rough crowd
Woah, good luck gettin' all of your gear out
They just wanna get drunk, don't care about the music
And every other night, somebody's left toothless
Even Patrick Swayze couldn't cool this place down
Welcome to the honky-tonkin' Vernon's Roadhouse (Come on)
[Bridge]
Well, you're probably wonderin' why would I play here
Vernon's got a daughter turnin' eighteen this year
[Chorus]
Hey, it's a pretty rough crowd
Woah, good luck gettin' all of your gear out
They just wanna get drunk, don't care about the music
And every other night, somebody's left toothless
Even Patrick Swayze couldn't cool this place down
Welcome to the honky-tonkin'
Knife-stabbin', gun-poppin' Vernon's Roadhouse
Well, the hippies and the bikers, they all hang around
A little dive bar on the outskirts of town
Where I play my songs every Tuesday night
For an empty tip jar and a couple Coors Lights
[Verse 2]
Been cuttin' my teeth, been payin' my dues
I leave my heart on the stage 'cause there's nothin' left to lose
I give you my soul with every song I sing
But I know damn well nobody's listening
[Chorus]
Hey, it's a pretty rough crowd
Woah, good luck gettin' all of your gear out
They just wanna get drunk, don't care about the music
And every other night, somebody's left toothless
Even Patrick Swayze couldn't cool this place down
Welcome to the honky-tonkin' Vernon's Roadhouse
[Verse 3]
