Dan Mccafferty - Honky Tonk Downstairs lyrics

rate me

It won't be long nowuntil that ol' sun gets down

And up the stairs I hidemy shameful tears

My wife works all night longfor 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'sshe works and hides her pride

She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
