Honky Tonk Downstairs Songtext
von George Strait

Well, it won′t be long now
Until that ol' 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 destroyin' all hopes and cares
To the men with the hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
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 destroyin′ all hopes and cares
To the men with the hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs

She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
