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

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

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
