She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
Burnin` the honky tonks down
Smoke`s been rising all over town
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
She caught me runnin` around
She was dancin` in the ashes
When they caught her with them matches
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
Well she`s burnin` the honky tonks down
I tried but I could not put them out
Did the best to save the whiskey
But the flame`s just too risky
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
She couldn`t stop that honky tonk sound
It was sizzlin` like a griddle
When I ran out with my fiddle
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
She`s down in the jailhouse now
Said she felt no remorse
For breakin` out that torch
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
Burnin` the honky tonks down
Smoke`s been a rising all over town
She`s burnin` the honky tonks down
