"My Old Flame Is Burning Another Honky Tonk Down" lyrics

My Old Flame Is Burning Another Honky Tonk Down

Just a one pump filling station
Lord, and one old general store
I found her in that wide spot
In the road

And the brightest lights
She'd ever seen
Were the headlights on my pickup
Till she saw the lights
Behind those swinging doors

And everywhere she goes
She leaves the jukebox smoking
Everywhere she's been
There's ashes on the ground
I see the glow in the sky
Through the teardrops in my eyes
My old flame's out burning
Another honky tonk down

So country
Young and pretty
She'd never been nowhere before
And I lost her behind those
Swinging doors

Now it's just me and my old pickup
Making every joint in town
Cause tonight she's out somewhere
To burn one down

And everywhere she goes
She leaves the jukebox smoking
Everywhere she's been
There's ashes on the ground
I see the glow in the sky
Through the teardrops in my eyes
My old flame's out burning
Another honky tonk down

My old flame's out burning
Another honky tonk down
