Kay Adams - Close All the Honky Tonks lyrics

rate me

(Red Simpson)

He's in some honky tonk tonight I know

He's dancin' where the music's loud and lights are low

In a crowded bar he likes to hang around

And as long as there's a honky tonk he'll never settle down.

Close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there anymore

Close up the honky tonks throw away the key

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me.

--- Instrumental ---

I wish I had the power to turn back the time

And live again the hours when he was all mine

It hurts to see him running with that crowd downtown

But as long as there's a honky tonk he'll never settle down.

Close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors...

Don't let the one I love go there anymore

Close up the honky tonks throw away the key

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me.

Maybe the one I love will come back to me...
