Don't Trade Your Old Fashioned Sweetheart Lyrics
Don't Trade Your Old Fashioned Sweetheart (For A Honky Tonk Queen) - Ernest Tubb
Take away the bright lights and music
Take away the power and pain
And you'll find that a honky tonk angel
Can't compare with your home loving saint
She's just another woman
Who'll never make a home
She's had sweethearts before you
She'll have others when you're gone
Don't trade one who loves you
For the bright lights that gleam
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart
For a honky tonk queen
She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder
And she'll speek of a broken romance
She'll say that things might have been different take pitty
But don't take a chance
Don't take a cheap imitation
When you have a real pearl
Don't take this hard hearted woman
For your old fashioned girl
Don't trade one who loves you
For the bright lights that gleam
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart
For a honky tonk queen
