Honky Tonk Hell

(album: Hard Times And White Lines - 2018)

Down a dark dead-end alley where even shadows don't go
There's a jukebox that moans for all the lost souls
Doing time for a crime in a neon-lit cell
And the Devil, he's pouring down in this honky tonk Hell

Beware of painted angels with souls black as night
The devil has ladies with fire in their eyes
They promise salvation but its heartaches they sell
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk Hell

The doors are always open and you're welcome inside
The whiskey and women or whatever you like
You'll never check out of this heartbreak hotel
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk Hell

I've got memories of her sweet love that torture my brain
While poison from this bottle flows through my veins
I walked the clean and narrow but one night I fell
Into the arms of an angel down in this honky tonk Hell

The doors are always open and you're welcome inside
The whiskey and women or whatever you like
You'll never check out of this heartbreak hotel
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk Hell

The doors are always open and you're welcome inside
The whiskey and women or whatever you like
You'll never check out of this heartbreak hotel
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk Hell
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk Hell
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk Hell
