Honky Tonk Downstairs lyrics
by George Strait
[Verse]
Well, it won't be long now until 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
She's the barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
