She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
|
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights're low
|
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
|
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down
|
So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors
|
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
|
Close up the honky tonks throw away the key
|
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
|
[ steel ]
|
I wish I had the power to turn back the time
|
And live again the hours when she was all mine
|
But it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown
|
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down
|
So close up the honky tonks...
