Honky Tonk Gal

It took a light from a honky-tonk
Put the beam in your eye
It took a record from a jukebox
And it bid my gal goodbye
And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal

Oh, she said she didn't love me
She didn't care no more
She'd rather spend her life now
On a honky-tonk hardwood floor
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

Someday you'll come back cryin'
Someday you will be blue
And that mean ol' honky-tonkin' life
Will get the best off you
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

Lord, I stand right up and tell you
I sit right down and cry
Sweetheart if you should leave me now
I know I'll lay and die
And I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

It took a light from a honky-tonk
Put the beam in your eye
It took a record from a jukebox
And it bid my gal goodbye
And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal

You'd rather spend your life
On a honky-tonk hardwood floor
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
