If I Ever Fall in Love (With a Honky Tonk Girl) Faron Young

I know that cheating river runs by everybody's door
And I might just fall in there anytime
Plus I'm the kind of man that makes decisions on his own
And I'd go with you if I were so inclined

Let me tell you this if I fall in that cheating river
I'm looking for a genuine pearl

You'll be the one yes you'll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl

True love never runs but one direction at a time
And right now I'm in love with someone else
But if I should ever lose the love I'm loving at this time
I know I'd never break it up myself

And I won't make any promises so I won't have one to keep
But I've seen some sudden changes in this world
You'll be the one yes you'll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
You'll be the one yes you'll be the one
If I ever fall in love with a honky-tonk girl
