George Strait - Honky Tonk Down Stairs lyrics

rate me

Verse:

Wellit won't be long now

Til that 'ol sun goes down

And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.

My wife works all night long

For a man who's halfway gone

She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

Chorus:

It's a shame she wears the name

Of a man who's locked and chained

To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.

To the men with hungry eyes

She works and hides her pride

She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

Repeat chorus
