Too many bar rooms and drunken afternoons
Weeks were I didn't see the day
Nights that I didn't call - I was drunk in some beer hall
I hope you'll forgive me some day
And jukebox plays
You're Cheatin' Heart
The honky-tonk life
tore my world apart
There are things that I smoked when I lost all hope
And nothing was going my way
The girls I've forgotten down there on rock bottom
I know I've got nothing to say
And jukebox plays
You're Cheatin' Heart
The honky-tonk life
tore my world apart
We'll both look for kindness and put our past behind us
But I know I will never be free
I'll be here alone in this bar room I call home
Nobody's waiting for me
And jukebox plays
You're Cheatin' Heart
The honky-tonk life
tore my world apart
Somebody please take this honky-tonk life
