Hank Thompson - Girl In The Night lyrics

rate me

She lives her life in honky tonks and crowded backstreet bars

The world of make believe that knows no sun or moon or stars

Just a glitter of a great white way and glare of city lights

Where music's loud she's in the crowd a girl of the night

I wonder if she's thinking of dreams that didn't last

I wonder if she's haunted by heartaches from the past

Perhaps there is a story of a love that wasn't right

Now shadows hide her empty pride a girl of the night

She's sitting there so lonely as she lights a cigarette

The smoke rings rise and in her eyes there seems to be regret

Is she there to tempt the lover in a dress that hughs her tight

A glass of wine to pass the time a girl of the night

I wonder if she's thinking...
