Well, it won't be long now
Until that old 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
It's a shame
She wears the name
Of a man
Who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroying
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
It's a shame
She wears the name
Of a man
Who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroying
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
She's the barmaid in
The honky tonk downstairs
