He said all we ever do is fight
I'll take a beer you know it just ain't right
Everything I try to do is wrong
She won't be happy till I'm gone
The old bartender sat a cold one down
Said son why don't you take a look around
Business here has been pretty dead
Then he looked at him and said
This old honkey-tonk's haunted
By memories of the unwanted
A lot of good love's gone to waste
Enough sad stories to fill this place
Son don't get me started
This ole honkey-tonk is haunted
One night when I was in here all alone
I heard the sounds of a happy home
Childrens' laughter was in the air
I looked around but there was noone there
Then I heard a moanful cry
Someone shouted out the word goodbye
Chains rattled on the sawdust floor
A cold wind blew thru the swinging doors
This old honey-tonk's haunted
By memories of the unwanted
So many people that I've met
Drown their sorrows to forget
Son don't get me started
This old honkey-tonk is haunted
Go ahead and finish up your beer
Then I suggest that you should get on out of here
A lot of good love has gone to waste
Enough sad stories to fill this place
Even the ghosts are broken-hearted
This old honkey-tonk is haunted
Even the ghosts are broken-hearted
This old honkey-tonk is haunted
This old honkey-tonk is haunted
This old honkey-tonk is haunted...haunted...
