She's in some honky tonk tonight I know

Running where the music's loud and the lights are low

In a crowded bar she likes to hang around

And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there any more

Close up the honky tonks throw away the key

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

I wish I had the power to turn back the time

And live again the hours when she was all mine

Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown

And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down

So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there any more

Close up the honky tonks throw away the key

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
