Honky Tonk Town - Hank Thompson

Lights are bright all through the night in honky tonk town

Each cabaret seems bright and gay when love has turned you down

The jukebox plays to broken hearts the saddest kind of songs

And red wine flows each night for those whos love affair went wrong

For them it's just a one way street a road of no return

For each heartache a drink they'll take but still the memories burn

Just smoke filled rooms and cheap perfume and the call for another round

Life wasnt sweet to those you meet in honky tonk town

You'll find that crime has all but died in honky tonk town

No longer proud I've joined the crowd and laid my honor down

Visions of the one I love keeps gnawing at my soul

Now my heart pines meet flashing signs in an atmosphere so cold

I'm heading down that one way street a road of no return

For each heartache a drink I'll take but still the memories burn

Just smoke filled rooms and cheap perfume and the call for another round

With a broken heart I'm now a part of honky tonk town
