It won't be long now, until that ol' sun gets down
|
And up the stairs I 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
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
And it's a shame she wears the name
|
Of a man that's locked in chains
|
To a bottle that destroys her hopes and cares
|
|
To a man with hungry eye's, she works and hides her pride
|
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
|
