Dwight Yoakam - Close Up the Honky Tonks Lyrics

She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
In a crowed bar she likes to hang around
And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

(Chorus)
So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
Don't let the one I love go there any more
Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

If I had the power, I’d turn back the time
And live again the hours when she was all mine
It hurts to see her running with that crowd in town
But as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

(Repeat Chorus X3)
