Never be Homeless
by: Doug Moreland
Billy Applegate

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 barroom 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
