Lyrics

(NOW SHE'S A) HONKY TONK ANGEL

How I long to hold her close and hear her gentle sigh
And every time I think of her a tear comes to my eye
I think about the girl I love I long to hold her near
Of all the things in this old world I wish that she was here

But now she's a honky tonk angel
The kind that cowboys love to dream about
Yes, she's a honky tonk angel
The only girl I cannot live without

She fell in with a bunch of rowdy losers on the run
The way they talked it up to her it looked like so much fun
She disappeared into the night now I'm the lonely one
But I will stay and wait for her Lord 'til Kingdom come

Now she's a honky tonk angel
There's no telling just where she could be
God bless that honky tonk angel
Keep her safe and bring her home to me

Now she's a honky tonk angel
The kind they write those sad old songs about
God bless that honky tonk angel
The only girl I cannot live without

The only girl I cannot live without
