He's in some honky tonk
Tonight I know
He's dancing where the musics loud
And lights are low
In a crowded bar he likes
To hang around
As long as there's a honky tonk he'll
Never settle down
So
Close up the honky tonks
Lock all the doors
Don't let the one I love
Go there anymore
Close up the honky tonks
Throw away the key
Then
Maybe the one I love will
Come back to me

I wish I had the power
To turn back the time
And live again the hours
When he was all mine
For it hurts to see him running
With that crowd downtown
As long as there's a honky tonk he'll
Never settle down
Somebody
Close up the honky tonks
Lock all the doors
Don't let the one I love
Go there anymore
Close up the honky tonks
Throw away the key
Then
Maybe the one I love will
Come back to me
Then
Maybe the one I love will
Come back to me
