I've never seen you look quite so sad I've never felt me feel quite so bad And I know we both feel that we have been had Well, I guess we were just not that strong
So I lost my woman and you lost your man And who knows who's right and who's wrong But I've still got my guitar and I've got a plan Throw your arms around this honkytonk man
Throw your arms around this honkytonk man And we'll get through this night the best way we can It's the best ol' pain killer since hurtin' began Throw your arms around this honkytonk man
I miss that woman and you miss him too But there's not a hell, of a lot we can do But cling to each other till the hurtin' is through And the hurt can only last just so long
So you be my woman and I'll be your man Even if just for a while I still got my guitar and I've got a plan Throw your arms around this honkytonk man
Throw your arms around this honkytonk man And we'll get through this night the best way we can It's the best ol' pain killer since hurtin' began Throw your arms around this honkytonk man
