[Verse 1]
No bartenders
No guitars with B-Benders
No two-steppin' shuffles
No shiny belt buckles
No sawdust in sight
No cold Lone Star Light
Well, they've mopped all the floors
Locked all the doors
And turned out the lights

[Chorus]
Y'all, they've closed down the honky tonks
And now my world ain't turnin'
The jukebox ran out of change
And the neon lights ain't buzzin'
And there ain't nothin' sadder
Than coverin' Haggard
And nobody singin' along
Y'all, they've closed down the honky tonks

[Verse 2]
There's no Broken Spoke
Dim lights or thick smoke
No more rowdy and reckless
No more Billy Bob's Texas
No barstool backslidin'
No Gilley's bull ridin'
No more last call
And no boots in Gruene Hall
Damn, that ain't right
[Chorus]
They've closed down the honky tonks
And now my world ain't turnin'
The jukebox ran out of change
And the neon lights ain't buzzin'
And there ain't nothin' sadder
Than coverin' Haggard
And nobody singin' along
Y'all, they've closed down the honky tonks
Y'all, they've closed down the honky tonks
