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

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

I  left for a drinking night found at any old bar
I'll dance and I'll flirt but it's alright 'cause she knows where we are
She's Sunday morning Sunday school while I'm at home sleeping late
Dreaming of those old honky tonk songs while she sings Amazing Grace
