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

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 (copyright dallas frazier) Explain Request ×
