C F Sheʼs in some honky tonk tonight I know G C Running where the musicʼs loud and the lights are low F In a crowded bar she likes to hang around G C And as long as thereʼs a honky tonk, sheʼll never settle down C F So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors G C Donʼt let the one I love go there any more F Close up the honky tonks throw away the key G C Then maybe the one I love will come back to me C F I wish I had the power to turn back the time G C And live again the hours when she was all mine F Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown G C And as long as thereʼs a honky tonk sheʼll never settle down C F So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors G C Donʼt let the one I love go there any more F Close up the honky tonks throw away the key G C Then maybe the one I love will come back to me G C Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
