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