[Verse] Down at Rosie’s on a Friday night, Juke box hummin’, feelin’ alright, The neon’s flicker, shadows play, Laughin’ loud, but I’m breakin’ away. [Pre-Chorus] Every glass raised, I toast my pain, Drownin’ sorrow in a whiskey rain, Friends all jokin’, say I’m fine, But behind these smiles, there’s a thin line. [Chorus] Hey, hey, honky-tonk laughter, Hidin’ tears from the here and after, Spin that record, strike that chord, Laughing loud, but my heart’s ignored. Hey, hey, honky-tonk laughter, One more dance, just to chase the chapter, Till the morning comes, I’ll play this game, Laughin’ loud, but it’s not the same. [Verse] She packed her bags in the pale moonlight, Left me standin’ in the cold spotlight, Told me, “Honey, it’s time to part,” Now I’m playin’ cracks in this broken heart. [Pre-Chorus] But the band plays on, and the crowd’s alive, So I put on my grin, and I survive, Under the glow of this honky-tonk scene, Maskin’ hurt with a whiskey dream. [Chorus] Hey, hey, honky-tonk laughter, Hidin’ tears from the here and after, Spin that record, strike that chord, Laughing loud, but my heart’s ignored. Hey, hey, honky-tonk laughter, One more dance, just to chase the chapter, Till the morning comes, I’ll play this game, Laughin’ loud, but it’s not the same. [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow, the sun will shine, And I won’t need this bottle or line, But tonight, the music’s all I know, In honky-tonk laughter, I let it go. [Chorus] Hey, hey, honky-tonk laughter, Hidin’ tears from the here and after, Spin that record, strike that chord, Laughing loud, but my heart’s ignored. Hey, hey, honky-tonk laughter, One more dance, just to chase the chapter, Till the morning comes, I’ll play this game, Laughin’ loud, but it’s not the same. [Outro] Laughin’ loud, but it’s not the same...
