Steve Wariner - Honky Tonk Work of Art Lyrics

(Jace Everett/Rick Carnes/Steve Wariner)

It’s a honky tonk work of art

A still life in a run down bar

Another beer is all I need

To complete this masterpiece

Red eyes and a neon tan

Paint the picture of a lonely man

This ain’t no ordinary broken heart

It’s a honky tonk work of art



Dim the lights add some thick blue smoke

And just a touch of juke box glow

I’m the master when it comes to hurt

Michelangelo would love my work



It’s a honky tonk work of art

A still life in a run down bar

Another beer is all I need

To complete this masterpiece

Red eyes and a neon tan

Paint the picture of a lonely man

This ain’t no ordinary broken heart

It’s a honky tonk work of art



My critics say I use too much blue

But that’s my style since I lost you

Other artists like to work in paints

But I’m a genius with teardrop stains



REPEAT CHORUS
