Translation
Bilingual
He's wrinkled and grey but he's still got the fire
And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire
Oh, he'll pack 'em in just like he always did
Oh, everybody loves the honky tonk kid
He got his first guitar when he was 15
Thirstin' for knowledge, all hungry and green
Strummin' that six string just like Lefty did
Everybody loves the honky tonk kid
Well, the honky tonk kid loves a honky tonk crowd
He picks them up when this world gets them down
All the smoke and the neon keep his pain here
Now nobody knows the honky tonk kid
Ten million fans and a handful of friends
He'll go home alone when each night ends
He'll think about her and then twist off a lid
Nobody loves the honky tonk kid
But the honky tonk kid loves a honky tonk crowd
He picks them up when this world gets them down
But all the smoke and the neon keep his pain here
Oh, nobody knows the honky tonk kid
Well, the honky tonk kid loves a honky tonk crowd
And he picks them up when this world gets them down
But all the smoke and the neon keep his pain here
Nobody knows the honky tonk kid
It won't be long, the Lord will take him away
He'll have sung his last song, they'll place a reef on his grave
Oh, and he'll draw a crowd just like he always did
Oh, one last goodbye for the honky tonk kid
