Last night all alone in a barroom I met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowin

Honey bees are gonna be hummin' guitar strings are gonna be strummin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Happy wheels are gonna be turnin' flames of love are gonna be burnin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again

No more tears are gonna be fallin' I done heard my true love a

Just because she works in a honky tonk at night
That don't make her a bad girl
And it's true she always wears her dresses short and much too tight
But that don't make her a bad girl

You can't tell by looking at the cover of a book
The story that its pages will unfurl

It's hour past midnight I'm on my way home
And my guilty conscience won't leave me alone
Fot I've been out cheatin' with somebody new
What makes me do the bad things I do

Back there at a truckstop I washed my face
And I checked the mirror for each tell-tell trace
For li

You walked in with me but you walked out with someone else
And left me sittin' here alone all by myself
I thought you were over him but I was wrong
My world just stopped but the band keeps playin' on

They just keep playin' cause they don't notice you are gone
You walked rig

Yesterday I had a future and I was happy
I had your love and the whole wide world was mine
I had money to spend and a woman to call me darling
Yes but that was before I found the wine

Before I found the wine my life had meaning
There were happy days at my house all the time

Born to lose I've lived my life in vain every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose it seems so hard to bear how I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through born to lo

As I went down to the river poor boy to watch the ships go by
My sweetheart's stood on the deck of one she waved to me goodbye

Bow down your head and cry (poor boy) bow down your head and cry
Stop thinking of that woman you love bow down your head and cry

I followed her from

Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting apart from the laughter and the cheer
While scenes from the past rise before me I'm watching the bubbles in my beer

A vision of someone to love me to my eyes brings along solty tears
As I think of the heart that I've broken while watching the bubb

Boys love girls
And girls love pearls
And pearls love oysters
In the sea

Birds love birdseed
Chicks love chickfeed
But what's best of
All to me

Is choca-loca chocolate
Choca-loca chocolate
Chocolate cake and
Chocolate pie
Choca-loca yum-yum

She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
Dancin' where the music's loud and lights're low
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down

Close all the honky tonks lock all the doors
Don't let the one I love go there any

blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not

Do you care for me like I care for you
Do you long for arms to hold you tight
Do you dream of me like I dream of you
Does your heart need my heart tonight

Are you missing me like I'm missing you
I'm so lonesome since you've been away
Do you cry for me like I cry for you

Don't put down the honky tonks until you been inside
Some go to dance some go to drink and losers go to hide
Darkness hides the heartaches each night until last call
Don't put down the honky tonks until you try them all

Pretty painted faces on every other stool
And in betwe

Did you hear what happened last Saturday night
While dancin' and drinkin' we all got half tight
This sweet thing named Sharmon was a dancin' with me
When up stepped her boy friend and he hollered at me

Please don't squeeze my Sharmon don't hold her so tight
You'd best keep

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you

My sweetheart has gone and I'm so lonely she said that she and I were through
So I started out drinking for past time drivin' nails in m

Alla en la rancho grande alla donde vivia
Habia una ranche rita que alegre me decia que alegra me decia
Te voy hacer tus calzones como los usa el ranchero
Te los comienzo de lana te los acabo de cuero
[ fiddle + steel ]
Alla en la rancho grande alla donde vivia...

I have every good reason to leave you after the way you've hurt me so
But every good reason I have for leavin' ever seems to be enough for me to go

Every time that you're untrue I tell myself I'm leavin' you
And I'll never see you anymore
By my heart always rules my mind and I

Facing the wall feeling lonely
But it offers me a place to cry unseen
Facing the wall feeling lonely
I can't face the room with all these shattered dreams

I brought her here to dance and have a good time
And for a while I've thought that she was mine
Then through the do

Well I rolled into Moffet Oklahoma down by the Arkansas state line
I walked into a honky tonk and ordered a glass of California wine

He said we got Oklahoma blue we got Arkansas homebrew
But no sir we don't dig that foreign kind
We got brandy rum and gin and moonshine for the m
