The Buck Owen's Buckaroos - Close Up The Honky Tonks lyrics

She's in some honky tonk, tonight I know

She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low

In a crowed bar she likes to hang around

And as long as there's a honky tonk,

she'll never settle down

CHORUS:

So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there any more

Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

I wish I had the power to turn back the time

And live again the hours when she was all mine

But it hurts to see her running with that crowd down town

And as long as there's a honky tonk,

she'll never settle down

CHORUS:

So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there any more

Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key

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