Ever since he left her she's done nothing but wrong
Many nights she's lain awake and cried
They were so happy, her heart was in a whirl
Now she's a honky tonk girl

So turn that jukebox way up high
And fill her glass up while she cries
She's lost everything in this world
Now she's a honky tonk girl

All he ever gave her was a reason to go bad
And it's not hard to see what she's become
She's ashamed and she's sorry for everything she's done
But losing him has made a fool for one

So turn that jukebox way up high
And fill her glass up while she cries
She's lost everything in this world
Now she's a honky tonk girl
Now she's a honky tonk girl
