(Dallas Frazier)
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.
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.
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.
