[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Take away the bright lights and music
Take away the powder and pain
And you find that a honky-tonk angel
Can't compare with your home-loving same
She's just another woman
Who'll never make a home
She's had sweethearts before you
She'll have others when you're gone
Don't trade love that's faithful
For a honky-tonk scene
Don't trade your old-fashioned sweetheart
For a honky-tonk queen
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder
And she'll speak of a broken romance
She'll say that things might have been different
Take pity, but don't take a chance
Don't take a cheap imitation
When you have a real pearl
Don't take this hard-hearted woman
For your old-fashioned girl
Don't trade one who loves you
For the bright lights that gleam
Don't trade your old-fashioned sweetheart
For a honky-tonk queen
