The Honky Tonk Downstairs
It won’t be long now until that old 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
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 the man with hungry eyes she works and hides her pride
She’s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
It won’t be long now until that old 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
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 the man with hungry eyes she works and hides her pride
