Close down at a honky-tonk, send my lovin' girl on home
Well, she's out dancin' all night long while the old man's home alone
Well, it just ain't a right night after night, how you do this thing to me?
So send the boys in the band off packin' and send my sweetheart home to me
Well, it just ain't fair, no, it just ain't right
The beer's ice cold and the neon's bright
And she's addicted to your hardwood floor and I never see my baby anymore
She's out on a ladies' night and she's tearing up the town
She's dancin' with the fellas and she's makin' me jealous
And it sure does bring me down
Well, so bartender, please, I'm down on my knees
Won't you have a little sympathy?
So pick up the bottles and turn off the lights and send my sweetheart home to me
Well, it just ain't fair, no, it just ain't right
The beer's ice cold and the neon's bright
And she's addicted to your hardwood floor and I never see my baby anymore

Close down that honky-tonk and you see that it's a crime
And it's a crying shame that I can't tame
That restless girl of mine
Well, I'm a-walkin' the floor from door to door
And I'm a lonesome-ass can be
So clear up the tables and lock the locks and send my sweetheart home to me
Well, it just ain't fair, no, it just ain't right
The beer's ice cold and the neon's bright
And she's addicted to your hardwood floor and I never see my baby anymore
Never see my baby anymore
Never see my baby anymore
