From A Mansion To A Honkey Tonk
Tom T. Hall
How could anyone who said they'd help me
Want to hurt me the way you did
It was just like Superwoman slapping
Some poor crying kid
It's just one slip and a stumble
Lord it's sure not very far
From a big three story mansion to
A nine by twelve foot bar
From a mansion to a honky-tonk Lord
It's closer than I thought
From a mansion to a honky-tonk thanks
For trying hey thanks a lot
I hate to say it hmm
But I don't miss it castle's cold
And money's chill
Our love died of pure starvation it's
Not something that you kill
I just wonder does the world know what
A short trip it really is
From a bedroom to a barroom and
An honest way to live
