Honky Tonk Downstairs

Well, it won't be long now

Until that 'ol 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 the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

It's a shame she wears the name

Of a man who's locked and chained

To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.

To the men with the hungry eyes

She works and hides her pride

She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstair

It's a shame she wears the name

Of a man who's locked and chained

To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.

To the men with the hungry eyes

She works and hides her pride

She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.
