lyrics

She's no angel, she's a Nashville fairy
Honky tonkin' all the time
She ain't no saint, she ain't no Virgin Mary
But who said honky tonkin' was a crime?

Well, I went out last night to have a round or two
Bartender sat me down, said, "How do you do?"
Say, who is that girl who's out there dancin' wild and free?
He said, "you better stay away from that, just take it from me"

'Cause
She's no angel, she's a Nashville fairy
Honky tonkin' all the time
She ain't no saint, she ain't no Virgin Mary
But who said honky tonkin' was a crime

I don't know what I did to catch her Wanderin' eye
I'm just your average tractor drivin corn fed kinda guy
She saddled up this pony and she took me for a ride
Last thing I remember I was slappin' her behind

Wooo!
She's no angel, she's a Nashville fairy
Honky tonkin' all the time
She ain't no saint, she ain't no Virgin Mary
But who said honky tonkin' was a crime

Early the next morning, I woke up to a train
Rattlin' 'round inside of this big ol' empty brain
Much to my surprise when I took a look around
My money and my clothes were gone and nowhere to be found

But
She's no angel, she's a Nashville fairy
Honky tonkin' all the time
She ain't no saint, she ain't no Virgin Mary
But who said honky tonkin' was a crime
Who said honky tonkin' was a crime
Honky tonkin' ain't no crime

Love In The Dark

Traverse the Great Lakes State via songs of heartbreak an' such! Led by a doctor/professor/reverend who wears fancy cowboy shirts—they aren't afraid to drop eff bombs on stage at 3pm! The Vermeers
