Lyrics
Honky Tonk Downstairs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
