Well, I met you in a bar and you looked like a movie star When we touched, I could feel a spark I was young and foolish too, my friends warned me about you But I believed in your honky tonk heart Our song of love is almost ended I can feel us driftin' apart I won't play second fiddle To the beat of your honky tonk heart Well, we used to feel the same but now one of us has changed Oh, the night life isn't my life anymore What matters most to me is a home and a family But you can't find that behind those swingin' doors Our song of love is almost ended I can feel us driftin' apart I won't play second fiddle To the beat of your honky tonk heart Though I'm back to the bar where I found you Though I'm back to your so called second home You'll feel better with your good time friends around you And I'll be here but I won't be alone Our song of love is almost ended I can feel us driftin' apart I won't play second fiddle To the beat of your honky tonk heart To the beat of your honky tonk heart
