She’ll Go Down (In Honky Tonk History)

She'll go down in honky-tonk history
With her name on a plaque
Describin' the fact that she left me
She'll be a legend in her own time
Right up in back of that cold beer sign
She'll go down in honky-tonk history

She's been burnin' up her days
In a blaze of wild nights
And her name is a household word
Where the houses have blue lights

And I have tried to change her mind
But I guess it's set in stone
'Cause she has found new friends downtown
And a place that she calls home

She'll go down in honky-tonk history
With her name on a plaque
Describin' the fact that she left me
She'll be a legend in her own time
Right up in back of that cold beer sign
She'll go down in honky-tonk history

Barstools spin as she walks in
And jaws drop to the floor
She pours down round after round
While the boys just bring her more

And all they see's a barroom tease
With a taste to paint the town
She's been living it up too long
To ever live it down
