Tom T. Hall - From A Mansion To A Honkey Tonk lyrics

[Verse 1:] How could anyone who said they'd help me Want to hurt me the way you did It was just like Superwoman slapping some poor crying kid It's just one slip and a stumble Lord it's sure not very far From a big three story mansion to a nine by twelve foot bar [Chorus:] From a mansion to a honky-tonk Lord it's closer than I thought From a mansion to a honky-tonk thanks for trying hey thanks a lot [Verse 2:] I hate to say it hmm, but I don't miss it castle's cold And money's chill Our love died of pure starvation it's not something that you k** I just wonder does the world know what a short trip it really is From a bedroom to a barroom and an honest way to live [Chorus]
