We are saying goodbye dear forever
i'm leaving your false love behind
every promise that you made has been broken
you're no longer a sweetheart of mine
i wanted someone true and faithful
for that's the way it had to be
you wanted your honky tonk love dear
you're no longer a sweetheart to me
go back to the bar down the street dear
and stay with your honky tonk kind
go back to the life you've been livin'
you're no longer a sweetheart of mine
(steel break)
From a bottle to a ride in the moonlight
and the arms of the first man you see
another victim added to your list dear
you're no longer a sweetheart to me
i'll never pretend to be happy
until a true love i will find
for you lived the lie from the start dear
you're no longer a sweetheart of mine
go back to the bar down the street dear
and stay with your honky tonk kind
go back to the life you've been livin'
you're no longer a sweetheart of mine
(banjo break)
Go back to the bar down the street dear
and stay with your honky tonk kind
go back to the life you've been livin'
you're no longer a sweetheart of mine
you're no longer a sweetheart of mine
you're no longer a sweetheart of mine
