The Honky Tonk Downstairs - Dan McCafferty

It won’t be long now until that old sun gets down

And up the stairs I hide my shameful tears

My wife works all night long for a man who’s halfway gone

She’s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

And it’s a shame she wears the name of a man that’s locked in chains

To a bottle that destroys her hopes and cares

To the man with hungry eyes she works and hides her pride

She’s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

It won’t be long now until that old sun gets down

And up the stairs I hide my shameful tears

My wife works all night long for a man who’s halfway gone

She’s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

It’s a shame she wears the name of a man that’s locked in chains

To a bottle that destroys her hopes and cares

To the man with hungry eyes she works and hides her pride

She’s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

She’s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

She’s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
