I cut my teeth on yesterday, now it seems yesterday is gone
You may recall they gave it all, put it all in every single song
Now today is such a different day, singers saying nothing at all
So tonight we'll take it back and play a straight up honky tonk song
guitar solo
Here's a toast, raise a glass, to the way of life that's barely hanging on
When a song came on the radio, made you want to sing along
Give thanks to those that paved the road, their message lingers on
guitar solo
To all those country troubadours
guitar solo
Dedicate this honky tonk song
guitar solo
When I hear one of those cheating songs
About heartache and life
Well the beauty of them sad songs
They want to make you cry
They want to make you cry
So here's a toast, raise a glass
To the way of life that's barely hanging on
When a song came on the radio
Made you want to sing along
Sing along
Sing along
Give thanks to those that paved the road
Their message keeps me strong
To all those country troubadours
I dedicate this honky tonk song
Here's a toast, raise a glass
To the way of life that's barely hanging on
When a song came on the radio, made you want to sing along
Sing along
Sing along
Give thanks to those that paved the road, their message lingers on




To all those country troubadours
I dedicate this honky-tonk song
Yeah, to all those country troubadours
I dedicate this honky-tonk song
