It wont 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 whos halfway gone
Shes a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

Bridge:

And its a shame she wears the name
Of a man thats locked in chains
To a bottle that destroys her hopes and cares

To a man with hungry eyes, she works and hides her pride
Shes a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
