we both love old country music. Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn and of course the original Queen of Country Music, Patsy Cline. This song is one that started as an experiment one day; if we could write a song for Patsy Cline to sing, what would it sound like? Dedicated, with love, to her, and to all the great Honky Tonk bars where we love sing.
Lyrics
It’s plain to see
Through the cigarette smoke
That you turn away
When I draw you close
And only a fool
Would wait like I do
Surrounded by tear drops
On that honky tonk floor
I sit at the bar
With my last cigarette
While the music fades into
A sea of regret
Remembering those words
That shook my whole world
Surrounded by teardrops,
On that honky tonk floor,
Still counting the tear drops,
On that honk tonk floor
A honky tonk angel
Now sober and wise
Flying on clipped wings
And cut down to size
Remembering those words
That shook my whole world
Surrounded by teardrops,
On that honky tonk floor,
Still counting the tear drops
On that honky tonk floor
Still counting the tear drops
On that honky tonk floor
