Honky Tonk Downstairs
Poco · Original Album Classic [2008]
Well, it won't be long now
Until 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 a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man that's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
Until 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 a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man that's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
