Whitey Morgan And The 78's – Honky Tonk Hell lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down a dark dead-end alley where even shadows don't go
There's a jukebox that moans for all the lost souls
Doin' time for a crime in a neon-lit cell
And the devil, he's pourin' down in this honky tonk hell

[Verse 2]
Beware of painted angels with souls black as night
The devil has ladies with fire in their eyes
They promise salvation but its heartaches they sell
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk hell

[Chorus]
The doors are always open and you're welcome inside
The whiskey and women or whatever you like
You'll never check out of this heartbreak hotel
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk hell

[Verse 3]
I've got mem'ries of her sweet love that torture my brain
While poison from this bottle flows through my veins
I walked the clean and narrow but one night I fell
Into the arms of an angel down in this honky tonk hell

[Chorus]
The doors are always open and you're welcome inside
The whiskey and women or whatever you like
You'll never check out of this heartbreak hotel
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk hell

[Chorus]
The doors are always open and you're welcome inside
The whiskey and women or whatever you like
You'll never check out of this heartbreak hotel
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk hell
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk hell
A man can get caught up down in this honky tonk hell
