God save the queen (of the honky tonks)

God save the queen of the honky tonks
And keep her away from men like me

I can't forget the first one that I took her to
The place that I called home to her seemed strange
The simple things that I loved in her began to disappear
And her old fashioned ways began to change

So God save the queen of the honky tonks
Forgive a fool like me who put her there
She's out there in some honky tonk an angel that some devil wants
So keep her away from men like me
[ fiddle ]
She picked up the glass she thought was Coke and as she drank it down
Like a fool I laughed when she almost choked and I ordered another round
She watched me close and caught on fast till she thought she fit in
But heaven knows she don't belong with that kind of men

So God save the queen of the honky tonks...
Yes God save the queen from men like me
