Send Me A Honky-Tonk Angel Lyrics

Dear God, as you can see, I've been drinkin?,
And this ain't the first time, as you know.
But tonight, Lord, I feel like I'm sinkin?,
A little too low.
And now, see the bars, they're all closin?.
It sure does seem dark out tonight.
Well, I know I'm not one of your chosen,
But I could sure use a little light.

So if you could find a way, Lord:

Send me a honky-tonk angel:
Lend me a night in her wings.
To cry on her shoulder and help me get over,
The mountains of memories the night-time can bring.

Dear God, well, I know I'm not worth it.
But don't leave me down here all alone.
Hey, she doesn't have to be perfect,
Oh, I'll do her no wrong.

I don't ask you for much, Lord, but tonight if you could:

Send me a honky-tonk angel:
Lend me a night in her wings.
To cry on her shoulder and help me get over,
The mountains of memories, oh, the night-time can bring.

Send me a honky-tonk angel:
Lend me just a night in her wings.
To cry on her shoulder and help me get over,
The mountains of memories the night-time can bring.
