Lyrics:

I was hard to handle when we said I do
She was just like some fine wine and I was old home brew
I took her to those smoky joints where she was out of place
And while I played those honky tonk songs she sang Amazing Grace

But somehow hymns and honky tonks don't go together long
But I kept right on raisin' hell and she kept holding on
I'm Faded Love and Cheating Heart and she's still silk and lace
While I play those honky tonk songs she sings Amazing Grace

I live for a drinking night down at any bar
I dance and flirt but it's all right for she knows where we are
She's Sunday morning Sunday School while I'm home sleeping late
Dreaming of those honky tonk songs while she sings Amazing Grace

But somehow hymns and honky tonks don't go together long
But I kept right on raisin' hell and she kept holding on
I'm Faded Love and Cheating Heart and she's still silk and lace
While I play those honky tonk songs she sings Amazing Grace
