If your paycheck depends on the weather and the clock
If your conversation calls for a little more than a coffee pot
If you need to pour your heart out and try to rectify some
Situation that you're facin'
When Uncle Sam dips in your pocket for most things you don't mind
But when your dollar goes to all of those standing in a welfare line
Rejoice you have a voice if you're concerned about the destination
It's called the American American honky-tonk bar association
It represents the hard hat, gun rack, achin' back, overtaxed,
Flag wavin', fun lovin' crowd
Their heart is in the music, and they love to play it a-loud
It's the American American honky-tonk bar association
We're all one big family throughout the cities and the towns
We don't reach for handouts, we reach for those who are down
And every local chapter has a seven day a week available consultation
It's called the American American honky-tonk bar association
They represent the mud-flap, six-pack, bear-crack, overtaxed,
Flag wavin', fun lovin' crowd
Their heart is in the music, and they love to play it a-loud
It's the American American honky-tonk bar association
Go join your American American honky-tonk bar association
Your A.H.B.A., Your A.H.B.A.
