I'm the life of the party, baby, since you said good-bye

Just ask old Joe, He knows, I'm here every night

And that good old boy in the mirror looking around for you

It ain't me

And that's the honky tonk truth.

Chorus

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart

I put my right hand here on this beer And swear on this bar

OPEN

I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying

 ain't moaning the blues I wouldn't lie to you

 Now that's the honky tonk truth

Lead

Don't think I'll come crawling back cause I don't miss you

If you walked up and puckered up, girl

 I wouldn't bother to kiss you

And that washed up, broken down fool

 Hanging out on that stool Well it ain't me

 Now that's the honky tonk truth.
