(Wayne Kemp - Mack Vickery)



God save the queen of the honky tonks

And keep her away from men like me.



I can't forget the first one that I took her to

The place that I called home to her seemed strange

The simple things that I loved in her began to disappear

And her old fashioned ways began to change.



So God save the queen of the honky tonks

Forgive a fool like me who put her there

She's out there in some honky tonk an angel that some devil wants

So keep her away from men like me.

She picked up the glass she thought was Coke and as she drank it down

Like a fool I laughed when she almost choked and I ordered another round

She watched me close and caught on fast till she thought she fit in

But heaven knows she don't belong with that kind of men.



So God save the queen of the honky tonks

Forgive a fool like me who put her there

She's out there in some honky tonk an angel that some devil wants

So keep her away from men like me.



Yes, God save the queen from men like me...
