A Honky Tonk in Dallas Songtext
von Charlie Walker

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)

I met her at a honky tonk in Dallas
A little place that′s just outside of town
Over one too many beers we discussed
And decided that we'd like to settle down.

So I bought a golden band and got a license
And found the preached just to make things right
But it ended all too soon I′m on a one man honeymoon
And that's how I'm gonna spend my wedding night.


′Cause she didn′t let the things write on the paper
And everything I own is on her name
No she didn't let the things write on the paper
And that honky tonk in Dallas was to blame.

And everything I own is on her name
No she didn't let the things write on the paper
And that honky tonk in Dallas was to blame.

Yes, that honky tonk in Dallas was to blame...
