Kay Adams – Close All The Honky Tonks lyrics

(Red Simpson)

He's in some honky tonk tonight I know
He's dancin' where the music's loud and lights are low
In a crowded bar he likes to hang around
And as long as there's a honky tonk he'll never settle down.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

I wish I had the power to turn back the time
And live again the hours when he was all mine
It hurts to see him running with that crowd downtown
But as long as there's a honky tonk he'll never settle down.

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.

Maybe the one I love will come back to me...
