Close Up The Honky-tonks lyrics

(Mac McAnally)

Ruthie got a job
And nothing went right
She woke up in a nervous sweat
In the middle of the night
And every morning
Of every day
Ruthie she would end up crying, Lord
And the boss would come and say

Hey if you抮e gonna lose your mind
Don抰 do it on company time
Aw girl you抮e gonna lose some pay
If you wanna behave that way
On company time
Ruthie抯 got a kid
And he just turned two
Late last year his daddy walked out
Said Now it抯 all up to you
The sitter called
Has to leave pretty soon
Ruthie asked her boss would it be alright
To go home this afternoon

Hey if you抮e always in a bind
Don抰 do it on company time
Aw girl you抮e gonna lose some pay
If you wanna behave that way
On company time
Now Ruthie抯 upstairs
On the seventh floor
Executive Assistant to the Chairman of the Board
And every morning on the speakerphone
The Chairman says Ruthie you抮e driving me crazy
Can we be alone

Hey if you wanna lose your mind
Let抯 do it on company time
Aw girl we抮e gonna raise your pay
If you wanna behave that way
On company time, on company time
On company time, on company time
