Don't Trade Your Old Fashioned Sweetheart

Take away the bright lights and music take away the power and pain

And you'll find that a honky tonk angel can't compare with your home lovin' saint

She's just another woman who'll never make a home

She's had sweethearts before you she'll have others when you're gone

Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam

Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen

She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder and she'll speek of a broken romance

She'll say that things might have been different take pitty but don't take a chance

Don't take a cheap imitation when you have a real pearl

Don't take this hard hearted woman for your old fashioned girl

Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam

Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
