George Strait - Honky Tonk Down Stairs lyrics

Well, it 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
