(Mel Tillis - Wayne P. Walker)



I met her at a honky tonk in Dallas

A little place that's just outside of town

Over one too many beers we discussed

And decided that we'd like to settle down.



So I bought a golden band and got a license

And found the preached just to make things right

But it ended all too soon I'm on a one man honeymoon

And that's how I'm gonna spend my wedding night.



'Cause she didn't let the things write on the paper

And everything I own is on her name

No she didn't let the things write on the paper

And that honky tonk in Dallas was to blame.

Yes, that honky tonk in Dallas was to blame...
