Bar Room Beauty - Hellbound Glory

At a bar out in Reno

In a rundown casino

In the heart of the bad part of town

She works nine 'til closin'

But the life that she’s chosen

Ain’t the kind that makes Momma proud

She’s the belle of the bar

Shines like a star

Could light up your life with a smile

You’ll drink all night

'Cause when she’s in sight

Time wasted’s always worthwhile

She’s a barroom beauty

She’s tattooed and moody

But she’ll love you truly at night

She’s blue bloodshot eyes

Sunday sunrise

And a good way to get through the night

And as I leave her this mornin'

I wish this were more than goodbye

But I’m a trav’lin' musician

A man on a mission

To sing all these sad country songs

Well I sang her a few

And the words she all knew

And sat down and sang right along

From the bar to the streets

'Neath the stars, 'neath the sheets

She laid in my arms 'til the dawn

With the dawn’s morning light

Before goodbye

I sat down and wrote her this song

She’s a barroom beauty

She’s tattooed and moody

But she’ll love you truly at night

She’s blue bloodshot eyes

Sunday sunrise

And a good way to get through the night

And as I leave her this mornin'

I wish this were more than goodbye

I wish this were more than goodbye
