Honky Tonk Downstairs — Dan Mccafferty

It wont be long now, until that ol sun gets down

And up the stairs I hide, my shameful tears

My wife works all night long, for a man whos halfway gone

Shes a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

Bridge

And its a shame she wears the name

Of a man thats locked in chains

To a bottle that destroys her hopes and cares

To a man with hungry eyes, she works and hides her pride

Shes a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
