I'm just someone who's all alone in a cold and empty home

You're far away and yet you're still here by my side

You're dreaming now of bygone years of honky tonks and bars and beers

If you were free and could go back there would you be satisfied

Cause on the day we were wed you woved to face the road ahead

But now you're living in the past that should have died

Now if your life you could renew do the things you used to do

But didn't have my love to turn to would you be satisfied

[ steel ]

Each evening when the sun goes down you yearn to go out on the town

I can see it in the gaze you try to hide

Those honky tonking memories are haunting you constantly

My deary fate should steal you from me would you be satisfied

You know that I have never asked about your dark and sinful past

I've always loved you and I stayed right by your side

But now if fate should take your hand and lead you down that road again

To all those honky tonks you danced in would you be satisfied
