George Strait - Honky Tonk Downstairs lyrics
[George Strait - Honky Tonk Downstairs lyrics]
Well, it won't be long now
Till 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 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 destroying
All hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in
The honky-tonk downstairs
Till 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 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 destroying
All hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in
The honky-tonk downstairs
