Honky Tonk Down Stairs - George Strait

Wellit wonЂ™t be long now

Til that Ђ™ol sun goes down

And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.

My wife works all night long

For a man whoЂ™s halfway gone

SheЂ™s the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

Chorus:

ItЂ™s a shame she wears the name

Of a man whoЂ™s locked and chained

To a bottle thatЂ™s destroyinЂ™ all hopes and cares.

To the men with hungry eyes

She works and hides her pride

SheЂ™s the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

Repeat chorus
