Luke Bryan - Honky Tonk Stage Lyrics

Dear Lord I need a minute of Your precious time,
I got somethin' kinda heavy weighin' on my mind.
You know there's a lotta things I don't understand.
Like how You filled the oceans, made the mountains tall,
hear everybody's prayers, how do You get to them all?
I got a few myself, so if you can

Let me live, 'til I can't live no more.
And let me love, that's what You made me for.
And let me sing to a full dance floor for the rest of my days,
And let me die on a Honky Tonk Stage.

You helped me build this house I've been payin' off
Don't mean to sound ungrateful but it ain't home
It ain't smokey, loud and rowdy, and full of my friends.
Let me be on the last line of Set 'Em Up Joe
When You tap me on the shoulder, say "Son, let's go"
Lord if it matters at all that's how I'd like it to end
But 'til then

Let me live, 'til I can't live no more.
And let me love, that's what You made me for.
And let me sing to a full dance floor for the rest of my days,
And let me die on a Honky Tonk Stage.

You won't ever hear me want more money in the bank,
My name up in lights and worldwide fame.
Or pray for better looks in my older days.
But it'd sure be nice, if when I close my eyes
I'm on a honky tonk stage.
Behind a chicken wire cage.
