Honky Tonk

Your honky tonk don't cut it no more
 all this misery you put me through
 your whiskey breath, your cheatin ways
 a cowboy gone astray, too many chances
 & still you don't see
 so get ya boots on honey & be sure to close the door
 lovin you is over
 your bad boy days & wicked ways don't win me
 you wear the devils grin, full of evil sin
 what used to be a man, now stands before me a drunken fool
 full of sorrow your all washed up
 your stumblin words can't save you now
 so turn up the juke box baby
 this love has played it's last tune...
