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
