Ernest Tubb - Don't Trade Your Old Fashioned Sweetheart lyrics

Take away the bright lights and music take away the power and pain And you'll find that a honky tonk angel can't compare with your home lovin' saint She's just another woman who'll never make a home She's had sweethearts before you she'll have others when you're gone Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder and she'll speek of a broken romance She'll say that things might have been different take pitty but don't take a chance Don't take a cheap imitation when you have a real pearl Don't take this hard hearted woman for your old fashioned girl Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
