Sittin' In a Honky Tonk

Sittin' in a honky tonk he'd just turned forty two Scratched the label off a beer he'd nothin' else to do Thought about his life 'til now - he'd just turned middle age Coulda done some better things if money was the guage There were things that he would change and some he could forget But he knew it was half done and he could change it yet His memory flashed back to blue eyes and golden hair The tears and the laughter and the love they used to share She is now a granny with a family of her own And he's tearin' labels as he sits here all alone He smiles at the honky tonk it's home as he can see He will have a beer or two when he is forty three 4-4-18
