Brooks & Dunn - Honky Tonk Truth Lyrics






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

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

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

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

  6. C.... P....

    Kix and Dale definitely look alike in a lot of ways.

  7. R.... L....

    This was sooo cool to have Dale Earnhardt Sr. In here. He did look like Kix Dunn! Loving me some Brooks & Dunn

  8. C.... T....

    Never mind it was Dale Earnhardt

  9. C.... T....

    1:45 Kix didn't have eyebrows

  10. r.... ....

    RIP King Dale!!! Miss ya brother.

  11. N.... E....

    The header is wrong because w/o means without fyi

  12. J.... R....

    We all miss Dale

  13. A.... P....

    Dale Earnhardt is obviously in the video with Chuck Norris.

  14. a.... h....

    iseeyoustillcansinganddancestagecouch

  15. S.... L....

    IT IS BROOKS DUNN & EARNHARDT

  16. R.... T....

    EARN!!!!!!!HARDT!!!!!!🙌🏼

  17. P.... S....

    You just do not hear rockin' piano in today's so called country music any more.

  18. P.... S....

    This one of their best! I wished that they would get back together, because the music we hear today is crappy music.

  19. c.... ....

    The video's caption says "w/o Dale Earnhardt." Well...I think it should say "w/Dale Earnhardt."

    And Kix Brooks could easily have passed as Dale Sr's twin.

  20. B.... L....

    RIP Dale. 💖💖

  21. S.... T....

    RIP Dale. Raise hell and praise Dale!!

  22. W.... ....

    😎👍✌

  23. C.... S....

    One of my favorite videos. Dale Bernhardt Sr. and Kick Brooks are a spitting image of each other.

  24. R.... F....

    2019 and still getting down to this song!

  25. J.... J....

    Like literally a couple month before this was released I got into a heated argument with someone who insisted Kix and Dale didn’t look a like and I said they had a remarkable similarity. Then this happened.

  26. g.... ....

    I was a young teen and all my family ever played at get togethers was country and they'd get drunk... When I was real young it was hair metal and still getting drunk. I grew up the whole time thinking to myself "okay... When I'm older, my main things have to be... Find a woman, drink a lot of beer and whiskey and fight and argue with her a lot and then split up and get back together on and off again, when it's off you hangout at bars... That's what being an adult is about..." lmao!

  27. R.... S....

    Rest in Peace "The Intimidator" Dale Earnhardt, the best damn NASCAR driver in NASCAR history..

  28. J.... H....

    I remember being three years old when this came on the tv and yelling-hollerin that dale was with brooks and dunn! Two years later my hero died and I cried for three days straight, parents had to keep me outta school. Been doin it for dale ever since.

  29. M.... S....

    I like the fact that it changes from Dale Earnhardt playing guitar to Kix Brooks playing during the chorus and other sequences. They look so similar.

  30. J.... L....

    God I love this song and miss the intimidator and his Earnhardt grin #3

  31. B.... B....

    My friends Brooks and Dunn. Yeah let’s party

  32. D.... L....

    Dayum I miss Dale!!!

    2018 👋🏼👋🏼

  64. R.... T....

    This video is all about Ole Dale Earnhardt.

  65. F.... B....

    My wife at the time was watching CMT at the time this was new, I stopped and said "That's DALE SR!!" She said "NO, that's the other singer!" I said "NO, that's DALE EARNHART!!" She argued again...that went on until I gave up. This song got me into country, I was/am a Metal guy. I still remember watching the crash, I was at a coin show working my table in Buffalo, NY. looked like 100 other crashes I'd seen. I was driving home listening to the radio when the DJ broke in to a Rock song and told me that Dale had died. I had to pull over, I was sure it was a mistake, not Dale!! It was just another crash...got home, turned on ESPN and saw the awful truth, I guess that's what my Mom used to mean when she told me about hearing of JFK getting shot...but Dale? Shit!!

  66. A.... L....

    Love Brooks and Dunn and Miss Dale and seeing him drive the black 3 car. Nascar has not been the same. R.I.P Dale You are missed so much.😞

    Beth Cheesebrough they don't look that much alike. You can see a difference. At least I can anyway

  87. S.... N....

  88. c.... ....

    Why do I get the feeling that Kix is the cool one and Ronnie is a dick.

  89. B.... F....

    Although i'm not old enough to remember seeing you, Big E, You sure knew how to entertain! Great song and great driver!

  90. t.... k....

    wooooooooooooooo

  91. C.... H....

    I love seeing Dales smile. Watching this video reminds me of just how much I miss Dale. It's hard to believe he's been gone 15 years. 🙁

  92. J.... V....

    😱Dale Earnhardt is still alive??? This was posted in 2010 no what Dale Earnhardt the INTIMADATOR #THEBEST. RACE CAR DRIVER EVER

    J.... V....

    Lukas Speed3 Bud this song came out years and years ago when he was still alive the video just wasn't posted till then

    J.... V....

    Lukas Speed3 Yep, this is from 1997

    J.... V....

    If Dale Sr was still around, he will definitely be popular among iGen generation. When Dale Jr started beating him, it ate him alive. Dale Jr sent Dale Sr to the wall while Sr was trying to pass Jr. Dale Sr threw a racing shoe at his head after that race in Japan (non-points race).

  93. S.... K....

    I wonder who noticed first

  94. B.... B....

    God i miss ol 3

  95. R.... G....

    i lovelovelovelove brooks and dunn

  96. b.... v....

    Amazing how Dale Earnhardt looks like Kix Brooks in the video

    b.... v....

    exactly his iconic half grin smile he always gave especially 2 anyone he accidentally spun out trying 2 win but drivers had 2 learn he was just racing.

    b.... v....

    He and Randy Owens could probably have dressed up as one another too. He was a huge Alabama fan as well, I think.

    b.... v....

    Actually, Childress invited Randy Owens to his ranch in Montana. Forget the name of the ranch though. Randy went, of course, but cannot remember if that was before or after Sr died.

    b.... v....

    Ronnie looks like Jeff Foxworthy.

    b.... v....

    Stacy L yep, that smile.

  97. A.... R....

    Just imagine if Dale was always in their music. They probably will be on the top of the charts. I love Dale and Brooks and Dunn. I met all 3 of them.

    A.... R....

    You have got that right

    A.... R....

    sounds very true I mean one song Hard Workin' Man perfectly fit Dale considering what all he had 2 do before he made his way into NASCAR it was why his documentary film tagline was behind the wheel he was a legend behind the legend he was one of us it's how Dale lived his life away from racing another everyday guy like anyone who never forgot where he came from.

  98. T.... K....

    Great video Dale Earnhardt was and always will be The Man, Brooks and Dunn will always be the duet duets

    T.... K....

    right on!!!
