She don't belong here
She's just here to think
She don't know how to act
And I can tell she don't drink

She's no honky-tonk angel
But her heart's broken now
So why don't she go home
Before she learns how

Before someone comes along
Sais what she wants to hear
And with his selfish motives
He'll make her think that he cares

But she's no honky-tonk angel
But that's where she's bound
So why don't she go home
Before she learns how

I watch her walk to the bar
And take off her ring
I knew she needed company
But I couldn't say a thing

She seem so out of place
With this honky-tonk crowd
So why don't she go home
Before she learns how

Before someone comes along
Sais what she wants to hear
And with his selfish motives
He'll make her think that he cares

But she's no honky-tonk angel
But that's where she's bound
So why don't she go home
Before she learns how

So why don't she go home
Before she learns how
