Lyrics
HONKY TONK CALLIN'
MAMA WAS A TEACHER DADDY WAS A PREACHER
THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE CALLED TO DO
WHEN I WAS YOUNG THEY TOLD ME SON
SOMEDAY YOU'LL HEAR YOUR CALLING TOO
MAMA SAVED UP AND MY DADDY PRAYED
I WOULD GET MY PHD
BUT THEIR BEST LAID PLANS WERE A WASTE ON ME
I HAD A HONKY TONK CALLIN'
NEON IN MY BLOOD
GUITARS AND BARS WERE IN MY STARS
IT'S EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE
WHEN THE SUN STARTS FALLIN'
AND MOONLIGHTS ON THE TREES
I HEAR A HONKY TONK CALLIN'
THE HONKY TONKS CALLIN' ME
AFTER ALL MY FOLKS HAD GIVEN I TRIED TO MAKE A LIVIN' WORKIN' AT A NINE TO FIVE
BUT THEIR WORST FEARS SOON BECAME CLEAR
'CAUSE PLAYIN' WAS MY WALK OF LIFE
BELTIN' OUT SONGS IN THE HOT SPOTLIGHT
THAT'S WHERE I GOT MY DEGREE
A FULL DANCE FLOOR IS A JOB WELL DONE TO ME
CHORUS
ONE NIGHT ON STAGE LIKE A SIGN FROM GOD
I SEE MY FOLKS IN THE DANCE LINE
THEY TOLD ME SON WE'RE PROUD OF YOU
YOU'VE FOUND WHAT YOU'RE MEANT TO DO
CHORUS
