Dan Mccafferty 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
