Dead At The Honky Tonk

[00:16.38] Knee-deep in the bullitt, one foot in the dirt
[00:21.21] Yeah, his bloodshot eyes are empty as a Monday mornin' church
[00:27.96] On a stool in the corner, where he's been all week
[00:33.05] Only way I know he's breathin' is he just took a drink
[00:38.86] And he keeps headin' toward the neon light
[00:44.02] There's a hole in his heart down at the hole in the wall
[00:50.55] They found him with his hand wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong
[00:55.73] There ain't no murder weapon, just a note that says she's gone
[01:01.72] And if they put it in the paper, then it wouldn't say much at all
[01:05.84] One man dead at the honky-tonk
[01:11.20] We all saw it comin' from a mile away
[01:16.60] We knew that her goodbye would put him in the grave
[01:22.61] And no, she won't go to prison, but he's doin' life
[01:27.72] She tied him to the bar and let that firewater rise
[01:33.63] Her leavin' sent him to the other side
[01:39.09] There's a hole in his heart down at the hole in the wall
[01:45.48] They found him with his hand wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong
[01:50.67] There ain't no murder weapon, just a note that says she's gone
[01:56.75] And if they put it in the paper, then it wouldn't say much at all
[02:00.70] One man dead at the honky-tonk
[02:14.14] He's leanin' on that bottle and it's cuttin' like a knife
[02:20.34] And he keeps headin' toward the neon light
[02:25.36] There's a hole in his heart down at the hole in the wall
[02:31.49] They found him in there drownin' in a whiskey waterfall
[02:36.88] There ain't no murder weapon, just a note that says she's gone
[02:42.90] And if they put it in the paper, then it wouldn't say much at all
[02:47.19] One man dead at the honky-tonk
[02:52.96] One man dead at the honky-tonk
[02:58.74] One man dead at the honky-tonk
[03:04.49] One man dead at the honky-tonk
