Honky Tonk Downstairs Lyrics

Honky Tonk Downstairs lyrics

It won't be long now, until that ol' 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



[Bridge:]

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 a man with hungry eye's, she works and hides her pride

She's a
barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
