[Verse 1] I been in the walls all week Wire in my teeth Four long days, dust on my boots Trying to make it right for you Knob and tube, old ghost lines Back house barely got a sign Kitchen cold, bedrooms tied in one Now the current finally runs [Pre-Chorus] Had to add five more Had to tear it down Bring that power back To the whole place now And you stood there smiling With your hands on hips Lord, you kept me steady When I nearly quit [Chorus] Honky tonk girl, you saved my day (you saved my day) Honky tonk girl, you know the way (you know the way) You lift me up when I get hard to love You make a mess feel like enough Honky tonk girl, my lucky charm (honky tonk girl) [Verse 2] I was running thin on grace Stressed out on my face You brought me water, brought me laughs Made the rough hours pass When I snapped, you let it go When I moaned, you let me know A little kindness goes a mile In a house torn up awhile [Pre-Chorus] Had to move that load Had to fix that pain But your easy heart Kept me in the game So I’m laying this one down Plain and true If I got the hard part handled It’s because of you [Chorus] Honky tonk girl, you saved my day (you saved my day) Honky tonk girl, you know the way (you know the way) You lift me up when I get hard to love You make a mess feel like enough Honky tonk girl, my lucky charm (honky tonk girl) [Bridge] If I’ve been sharp, I’m sorry If I’ve been loud, forgive me I was buried in the work And you were still standing with me So here’s my little thank-you Wrapped up in a song For every bolt and busted plan For every night I got it wrong [Final Chorus] Honky tonk girl, you saved my day (you saved my day) Honky tonk girl, you know the way (you know the way) You lift me up when I get hard to love You make a mess feel like enough Honky tonk girl, my lucky charm (honky tonk girl) Honky tonk girl, stay in my arms (stay in my arms)
