Who Closed The Honky Tonks Chorus: Who closed the honky tonks, there's no more hardwood floors And doesn't anybody get broken hearted anymore Where there's a jukebox playing low and all the people there seem to know That the teardrops on the floor ain't no big deal Verse1: Now you might seem to think, a guy could find a drink But her memory haunts me every place I go There's nobody left in town, an' no music for miles around Oh how Hank an' Lefty would sure be good to hear Chorus: Modulation Who closed the honky tonks, no more hardwood floors And doesn't anybody get broken hearted anymore Where there's a jukebox playing low and all the people there seem to know That the teardrops on the floor ain't no big deal Verse2: Tried a different place every night, but the bar stools don't feel right And the best bar singer just passed away last year There's nobody left in town, an' no music for miles around Oh how Hank an' Lefty would sure be good to hear Chorus: Who closed the honky tonks, no more hardwood floors And doesn't anybody get broken hearted anymore Where there's a jukebox playing low and all the people there seem to know That the teardrops on the floor ain't no big deal
