Honky Tonk Bar

When i saw you fly out of that old
honky tonk bar in the sun soaked uptown
that you are just one of those girls that never wants to settle down

You've unzipped your boots yet again
as you deleriously let yourself in
that same place where you always chase that old dragon
and watch your silver spoon turn to gold with flashes of magic

A return to the den yet again the scent of poisonous fumes and you
You used to be that old girl down the road, another bobbed out flapper kid
The boom was up, you were down, you scrounged around and walked yourself to the downtown
Where you found yourself and the end of an era with a crash and a silver spoon worn and tattered
and flames that took away the shine and the laquer and the girl that I once knew

I was readin' the news just yesterday
and that's how I heard that you'd found your way
To that lake sided palace with some big golden gates
Where you had parked your car and decided to finally let yourself straight
