Close Up The Honky Tonks
Close Up The Honky Tonks
Buck Owens
GC
She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
D7G
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
C
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
D7G
And as long as there's a honky tonkshe'll never settle down
C
So close up the honky tonkslock all the doors
D7G
Don't let the one I love go there any more
C
Close up the honky tonksthrow away the key
D7G
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
C
I wish I had the power to turn back the time
D7G
And live again the hours when she was all mine
C
But it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown
D7G
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down
