[Verse]
Well I Cmet you iFn a bCar and you looked like a mFovie stCar
When we tGouched, I could feel a sCpark
I was young and fFoolish tCoo, my friends waFrned me about yCou
But I belGieved in your honky tonk hCeart
[Chorus]
Our sCong of lFove is almost eCnded
I can feFel us drCiftin' apGart
CI won't play 2nd fFiddle
To the bGeat of your honky tonk hCeart
[Verse]
Well we uCsed to fFeel the saCme but now oFne of us has chCanged
Oh the nGight life isn't my life anymCore
What matCters Fmost to Cme is a home and a fFamilyC  
But you can't fGind that behind those swingin' dCoors
[Chorus]
Our sCong of lFove is almost eCnded
I can feFel us drCiftin' apGart
CI won't play 2nd fFiddle
To the bGeat of your honky tonk hCeart
[Bridge]
Go on Gback to the bar where I Ffound Cyou
Go on Gback to your so-called second Chome
CYou C#feel Dbetter with your good-time friends aGround you
And DI’ll be here but I won’t be aGlone
[Chorus]
Our sCong of lFove is almost eCnded
I can feFel us drCiftin' apGart
CI won't play 2nd fFiddle
To the bGeat of your honky tonk hCeart
