Close up the honky tonky

Close Up The Honky Tonks - Buck Owens

She's in some honky tonk tonight I know

She's dancin' where the music's loud

And lights are low

In a crowded bar she like to hang around

And as long as there's a honky tonk

She'll never settle down

So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there anymore

Close up the honky tonks throw away the key

Then maybe the one I love

Will come back to me

I wish I had the power to turn back the time

And live again the hours when she was all mine

For it hurts to see her runnin'

With that crowd down town

And as long there's a honky

Tonk she'll never settle down

So Close up the honky tonks lock all the doors

Don't let the one I love go there anymore

Close up the honky tonks throw away the key

And maybe the one I love will come back to me
