Honky-tonk blue is the color of my heartache
Since you said goodbye
Well, it's all that I can see
I just sit and cry lonely teardrops for you, darling
When I think of you
Your memory turns the room
Honky-tonk blue

Forgetting you has been twice as hard
As the whiskey on my breath
And empty bottles and crowded rooms
Are all that I've got left

Honky-tonk blue is the color of my heartache
Since you said goodbye
Well, it's all that I can see
I just sit and cry lonely teardrops for you, darling
'Cause when I think of you
Your memory turns the room
Honky-tonk blue (Let's go honky tonking)

The Mona Lisa is a work of art
But she ain't got a thing on me
'Cause I'm a living, breathing love gone wrong
Her masterpiece

Honky-tonk blue is the color of my heartache
Since you said goodbye
Well, it's all that I can see
I just sit and cry lonely teardrops for you, darling
'Cause when I think of you
Your memory turns the room
Honky-tonk blue
Yeah, when I think of you
Your memory turns the room
Honky-tonk blue
