It’s Rainin’ at my favorite Honky Tonk
words and music by Dr BLT © 2008
I got the call from Rockwell
earlier today
he told me that his friend had passed away
big dark clouds surrounded
my favorite honky tonk
tears fell down
just like a heavy rain
it’s rainin’ at my favorite honky tonk
the place where they play my favorite songs
tears are flowin’ down the street
now that this great man is gone
it’s rainin’ at my favorite honky tonk
I heard he kept the place alive
I heard he made it move
a pillar of this great community
I didn’t have the pleasure
of getting close to him
but I saw the clouds of joy and pain
you see
(chorus)
I don’t know, dear Lord
why you gave me this song
I didn’t know him
until he was gone
I guess it’s just to say to
all my friends at Trout’s today
that I feel their rain
at my favorite honky tonk
(chorus)
wonderful tribute
