Honky Tonk Downstairs

Well, it won't be long now

Until that old sun goes down

And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears

My wife works all night long

For a man who's halfway gone

She's a barmaid in the Honky Tonk downstairs

It's a shame she wears the name

Of a man that's locked and chained

To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares

To the men with hungry eyes

She works and hides her pride

She's a barmaid in the Honky Tonk downstairs

It's a shame she wears the name

Of a man that's locked and chained

To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares

To the men with hungry eyes

She works and hides her pride

She's a barmaid in the Honky Tonk downstairs

She's a barmaid in the Honky Tonk downstairs
