Ch.
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

V.1
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

Repeat ch.

V.2
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
