American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

If your paycheck depends on

The weather and the clock

If your conversation calls for

A little more than a coffee pot

If you need to pour your heart out

And try to rectify some situation

That you're facing

Contact your American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

When Uncle Sam dips in your pocket

For most things you don't mind

But when your dollar goes to all of those

Standin' in a welfare line

Rejoice, you have a voice

If you're concerned about the destination

Of this great nation

It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

It represents the hardhat, gun rack, achin'-back

Over-taxed, flag-wavin', fun lovin' crowd

Their heart is in the music and they love to play it loud

There's no forms or no applications

There's no red tape administrations

It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

We're all one big family

Throughout the cities and the towns

We don't reach for handouts

We reach for those who are down

And every local chapter

Has a seven day a week available consultation

For your frustration

It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

It represents the mud flaps, six pack, beer crack

Over-taxed, flag-wavin', fun lovin' crowd

Well their heart is in the music and they love to play it loud

There's no forms or no applications

There's no red tape administrations

It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

Your A.H.B.A., your A.H.B.A.
