Lyrics
Soul Of a Honky Tonk Woman
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.
She puts on her makeup each evening and makes up the story she'll tell
Then she heads for a neighborhood tavern and the night life that she knows well
There's always somebody there waitin' to whisper sweet talk in her ear
He'll laugh when he tells her he loves her and leave her cryin' honky tonk tears
And she can fool anybody she wants to but a honky tonk man he can see
Down to the soul of a honky tonk woman and the lady she's wantin' to be
[ guitar ]
Nobody would guess she's unhappy laughter was all of her fame
But a honky tonk man knows her difference he's livin' his life just the same
Now I'm tryin' to give up some reasons that maybe she'll get all her needs
I'm gonna let her know that she's wanted for more than a honky tonk memory
And she can fool anybody she wants to...
And she can fool anybody she wants to...
She can fool anybody she wants to...
