"Honky Tonk Girl" lyrics

"Honky Tonk Girl"

Ever since you left me I've done nothing but run
Many nights I've laid awake and cried
We were so happy, my heart was in a whirl
But now I'm a honky tonk girl

So turn that jukebox way up high
And fill my glass up while I cry
I've lost everything in this world
And now I'm a honky tonk girl

I just can't make a right in all of my wrongs
Every evening of my life seems so long
I'm sorry and ashamed of everything that you've seen
But losing him has made a fool of me

So fill my glass up to the brim
To lose my memory of him
I've lost everything in this world
And now I'm a honky tonk girl
And now I'm a honky tonk girl
