Honky tonkers don?t cry, we ain?t allowed
We have to have a good time even when we feel down
And if a tear should fall, it?s gonna land on a smile
Always having a ball, honky tonkers don?t cry

Cryin' in a beer is commonplace around here
That?s the life that we live every night
That?s the way that it is, honky tonkers don?t cry

Cryin' in a beer is commonplace around here
But when the sun goes down, nobody?s wearing a frown
That?s the life that we live every night
That?s the way that it is, honky tonkers don?t cry
