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