Intro:   She’s in some honky tonk tonight I know She’s dancing where the music’s loud and lights are low In a crowded bar she likes 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 And maybe the one I love will come back to me (The following verse is played with a tambourine - no guitar except for electric and pedal steel is played.   You can still play it if you want to) If I had the power Iâ??d turn back time And live again the hours when she was all mine It hurts to see her running with that crowd in town But 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 And maybe the one I love will come back to me Yeah maybe the one I love will come back to me (The following is just played with acoustic guitar with electric guitar stums) 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 Close up the honky tonks lock all the doors Don’t let the one I love go there anymore

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le chagrin d'un homme qui sait que la femme qu'il aime fréquente des bars où l'ambiance est festive et bruyante. Il ressent une grande douleur en la voyant s'amuser avec d'autres, et il souhaite désespérément qu'elle revienne à lui. Pour cela, il imagine un monde où ces lieux de rencontre sont fermés, espérant que cela la poussera à prendre conscience de ce qu'elle perd. Ce récit s'inscrit dans un univers typique des honky tonks, ces bars américains où la musique country résonne et où l'on danse, offrant une atmosphère à la fois attirante et destructrice pour ceux qui s'y laissent aller.
