There used to be a time when candlelight and wine
Was all that a woman would need
Man, you'd be a winner if you took her out to dinner
Or a movie that she wanted to see
Now the world has turned and it's time you learned
The old ain't workin' no more
The rules have changed and it's a brand new game
Buddy, if you wanna score
Get off the couch, get out of the house
A-long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you wanna keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind'll do it every time
If you wanna keep your little girl
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
'Cause you're livin' in a honky tonk world
ย
Sooner or later all you couch potatoes
You're gonna be the lonely one
If you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up
You better know your Brooks from your Dunn
And don't even think that your Engelbert Humperdink's
Record's gonna turn her on
Missy, you can bet if you don't know the steps
You're gonna get left at home
Get off the couch, get out of the house
A-long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you wanna keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind'll do it every time
If you wanna keep your little girl
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
'Cause you're livin' in a honky tonk world
ย
If you were cool back then you'd be draggin'
Your woman by the hair to your cave
You'd be down on one knee recitin' them soliloquies
Back in Romeo's days
You'd be kinda nifty if you were in the fifties
And you had a cool car to drive
But now we've passed the nineties so you better shake your hiney
Or you're gonna get left behind
Get off the couch, get out of the house
A-long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish up your moves
If you wanna keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind'll do it every time
If you wanna keep your little girl
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
'Cause you're livin' in a honky tonk world
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
'Cause you're livin' in a honky tonk world
Well, you don't stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance
'Cause you're livin' in a honky tonk world
