Close Up The Honky Tonks Lyrics by Dwight Yoakam
Album : Dwight Sings Buck
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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

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.

Then maybe the one I love will come back to me.

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
Maybe the one I love will come back to me.

Close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
Don't let the one I love go there any more...
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.      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.      --- Instrumental ---      I wish I had the power to turn back the time   To live again the hours when she was all mine   But it hurts to see her running with that crowd in town   And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down       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.      Then maybe the one I love will come back to me.      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   Maybe the one I love will come back to me.      Close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors   Don't let the one I love go there any more...
