Standard (EADGBE)

She's in some honky tonk tonight I know

She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low

In a crowded bar she likes to hang around

And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

Chorus

So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there any more

Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
