One, two...The bartender will give my energyRaise him up steady pourin' on them for meThe bouncer in the back's already wearing backWhen the time comesHe'll be readyIn lieu of flowers tip the cover bandMake sure they play a little countryBoy can't surviveIf I don't make it through the nightI'll fly away on a whiskey riverWashed in the glow of a neon lightWhen it all goes darkWant a beer in hand when it's time to goSee a sawdust floor before my eyes closeWhen the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heartI wanna die, I wanna die in a barHey!Now when you swing on in them swinging doorsLeave that heartache out on the porchMy happy hour don't allow no tearsSo drive up and fill your cupWhile I fly away on a whiskey riverWashed in the glow of a neon lightWhen it all goes darkWant a beer in hand when it's time to goSee a sawdust floor before my eyes closeWhen the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heartI wanna die in a barHey!I wanna die in a barHey!I'll fly away on a whiskey riverWashed in the glow of a neon lightWhen it all goes darkWant a beer in hand when it's time to goSee a sawdust floor before my eyes closeWhen the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heartI wanna die, I wanna die in a barHey!I wanna die in a barYeah!
