It won`t be long now, until that ol` 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
Bridge:
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 a man with hungry eye`s, she works and hides her pride
She`s a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
