Hank, Cash, and Willie

Sun's going down Drinks are filling up Been a hell of a week I'm bout to turn it up Crowds coming in Bands starting up Drinks are kicking in I'm bout to turn it up Bartender asks what brings ya in I shot em' a wink and said don't be silly I'm on a first name basis with Hank, Cash, and Willie I was born to rock, born to roll This honky tonk, it's in my soul I said....oh, don't ya hear me I'm on a first name basis with Hank, Cash and Willie Whole teams here Shots are lining up Been way too long I'm bout to turn it up My song comes on My arm goes up Been waiting all night I'm bout to turn it up What’s that ya say do I come here often I raised my drink and said don't be silly I'm on a first name basis with Hank, Cash, and Willie I was born to rock, born to roll This honky tonk, it's in my soul I said....oh, don't ya hear me I'm on a first name basis with Hank, Cash and Willie Nights winding down Last call is up No way I’m going home, I’m bout to turn it up One more song The band calls out What’ll it be? We’re bout to turn it up It better be a good one don’t be silly I’m on a first name basis with Hank, Cash and Willie I was born to rock, born to roll This honky tonk, it's in my soul I said....oh, don't ya hear me I'm on a first name basis with Hank, Cash and Willie Ohhh how country are ya It better be a good one don’t be silly I’m on a first name basis with Hank, Cash and Willie

Nice read, the title caught my eye as I have a cat named Cash, one named Willie and one named Waylon. Was fun
