From A Mansion To A Honky-tonk Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

How could anyone who said they'd help me 

Want to hurt me the way you did 

It was just like Superwoman slapping some poor crying kid 

It's just one slip and a stumble Lord it's sure not very far 

From a big three story mansion to a nine by twelve foot bar 

From a mansion to a honky-tonk Lord it's closer than I thought 

From a mansion to a honky-tonk thanks for trying hey thanks a lot 

I hate to say it hmm, but I don't miss it castle's cold and money's chill 

Our love died of pure starvation it's not something that you kill 

I just wonder does the world know what a short trip it really is 

From a bedroom to a barroom and an honest way to live
