Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
She works day and night in a dingy cafeFeedin’ locals and passers byShe never complains of a heartache and painBut sometimes she breaks down to cryAnd her honky tonk husband spends most of his timeDrinking whiskey and watching TVAnd now rumor has it he’s foolin’ aroundBut the rumor she she does not believeAnd the sadness of that all is I could fallLike rain from the sky for youSadness of that all is I could fallLike rain from the sky for youEach night at nine around closin’ timeHe drops by to say helloWe sit down and talk and go for walkIt gets just as far as it goes
