She stood there
with tears in her beautiful ey
es
Said the closest she’d be was
around
And
now she was leaving
cause she couldn’t fight
My honky tonk merry go
round
If it was a woman
she’d know what to do
But she couldn’t take being put
down
My
bottles and bar rooms
night after night
Of my honky tonk merry go
round
Cause my
pay checks still buys tickets that
come in flip top cans
My silver dimes still strike up
that old juke box band
Where once rode a king now
sad lonely
clown
Is
riding a
honky tonk merry go
round
So she left me and I thought well
maybe that’s good
I won’t feel so guilty to
night
But
some how some where
something went wrong
With my complete honky tonk
life
Cause my
pay checks still buys tickets that
come in flip top cans
My silver dimes still strike up
that old juke box band
Where once rode a king now
sad lonely
clown
Is
riding a
honky tonk merry go
round
Is riding a
honky tonk merry go
round
