Heartbreak in a Honky Tonk

(Verse 1)
I walked into that ol’ neon bar,
Saw her dancin’ close with another man,
She flashed me a smile, but it didn’t go far,
Guess I finally see where we stand.

(Pre-Chorus)
She whispered sweet nothings, oh, they sounded so true,
But now I know what she was really up to.

(Chorus)
She broke my heart in a honky tonk,
With every lie she told, my love sank like a stone,
Cheatin’ and lyin’, she did me so wrong,
Now I’m here drownin’ my sorrows alone.

(Verse 2)
I gave her my heart, thought she was the one,
But she played her games under the Texas moon,
I should’ve seen it comin’, now I’m on the run,
Lookin’ for answers, singin’ this tune.

(Pre-Chorus)
Those promises she made, just a house of cards,
Fallin’ down fast in this ol’ broken heart.

(Chorus)
She broke my heart in a honky tonk,
With every lie she told, my love sank like a stone,
Cheatin’ and lyin’, she did me so wrong,
Now I’m here drownin’ my sorrows alone.

(Bridge)
I’ll find a new way, leave her behind,
With the jukebox playin’, I’ll ease my mind,
Raise a glass to the pain, let it fade away,
In this honky tonk night, I’ll find a new day.

(Chorus)
She broke my heart in a honky tonk,
With every lie she told, my love sank like a stone,
Cheatin’ and lyin’, she did me so wrong,
Now I’m here drownin’ my sorrows alone.

(Outro)
Heartache and whiskey, my only friends,
In this honky tonk, where the heartbreak ends.
