She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Burnin' the honky tonks down
Smoke's been a risin' 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 couldn't put 'em out
Did my 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 risin' all over town
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Well, that smoke's been a risin' all over town
She's burnin' the honky-tonks down
