I saw you at the honky tonk, I was playing my guitar,
You smiled at me and said hello when I walked up to the bar.
We both slugged down a cold one, then I asked you what's your name,
Just thirty minutes later we were playing the mating game.
I knocked down my old cabin, built a house for you and me,
I traded in my Mustang for a foreign SUV.
You said you'd make me happy, you said that you'd be true,
I gave up all my best friends so I could be with you.
I worked down at the stockyard to help pay off the car,
And I made a little money, playing my guitar.
You were working at the honky tonk, chatting with the guys,
Playing pool when things were quiet and laughing with your eyes.
One day I came home early, you must have got a ride,
The window blinds were all closed, there's a truck parked right outside.
That afternoon you left me, I told nobody why,
But when I'm singing in the honky tonk I feel I'm going to cry.
Yeah, when I'm singing in the honky tonk I feel I'm going to cry.
