happy with it mostly but would welcome a suggestion to make it better as long as it didn't change the story or go too far off in the comedy  , or changed the syllable count (which I go over several dozen times before posting)

"My Honky-Tonk Family"

The first time I came here was out of agony
I just lost a love ,that meant the world to me

There were kind words and wisdom to help me get free

so in return I adopted them as honky tonk family

(chorus)
Ohh they ain't real blood but that's close enuff, anyone could conceive,so howdy yall hows it been my honky tonk family

That's cousin Pete th behind the bar he serves a cold beer
and if'n you got a problem he's got  wide open ears 
 
There's Sallie Ann the waitress somehow my cousin's aunt
she's workin her way thru college, at the fine art school of dance

(bridge) 
Every night's a reunion
when I come thru those  doors,so break out the family album we'll look back at mine and yours
 
That's uncle Jack the one in back he's the fam'ly souse 
ya have to hide all the liquor if he comes to your house
 
There's Peggy known as Dotsie been married six times
she can't hang on to a man not even if he's blind

 

(chorus)
Ohh they ain't real blood but that's close enuff, anyone could conceive,so howdy yall hows it been my honky tonk family
