Carl Perkins - Honky Tonk Gal lyrics

They took a light from a honky tonk Put the gleam in your eye They took a record from the jukebox And they bid my gal goodbye And now she's gone, honky tonk gal Oh, she said she didn't love me She didn't care no more She'd rather spend her life On a honky tonk hardwood floor But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal Someday you'll come back crying Someday you will be blue And that mean old honky tonkin' Life'll get the beat of you But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal Lord, I'll stand right up and tell you I'll sit right down and cry Sweetheart, if you should leave me now I'll know I'd lay and die But now she's gone, honky tonk gal They took a light from a honky tonk Put the gleam in your eye They took a record from the jukebox And they bid my gal goodbye And now she's gone, honky tonk gal You'd rather spend your life On a honky tonk hardwood floor But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal
