I could say that the smoke gets in my eyes I could say that's the reason I cry But as I look across this booth and in your eyes I can see why you said goodbye Honky tonks and slow sad music Play the jukebox Let the red wine flow free Honky tonks and slow sad music Your way of life is k**ing me As I sit here I'm trying to talk to you But you're staring out into space It's the honky tonks that I'm competing with And the night life has taken my place Honky tonks and slow sad music Play the jukebox Let the red wine flow free Honky tonks and slow sad music Your way of life is k**ing me Yes your way of life is k**ing me
