I'll Never Be Homeless

I'LL NEVER BE HOMELESS
written by Doug Moreland, ASCAP and Billy Applegate, BMI

I knew she wasn’t coming back
When she didn’t say goodbye
Left my suitcase on the porch
Threw my guitar down the drive
Our home-sweet-home we used to know
Vanished in despair
But I’ll never be homeless
Long as there’s a honky-tonk somewhere

A honky-tonk, neon light
And a blonde bar-room bombshell hanging on my side
A jukebox playing hurting songs
Plenty of ice cold beer
But I know I’ll never be homeless
Long as there’s a honky-tonk somewhere

I’ve always been comfortable
With a little sawdust on the floor
My new address as a neon sign
Above two swinging doors
This ol’ barstool will take the place
Of my easy chair
But I’ll never be homeless
Long as there’s a honky-tonk somewhere

A honky-tonk, neon light
And a blonde bar-room bombshell hanging on my side
A jukebox playing hurting songs
Plenty of ice cold beer
But I know I’ll never be homeless
Long as there’s a honky-tonk somewhere
