She's burning the honky tonks down,
Burning the honky tonks down,
The smoke's been rising all over town
She's burning the honky tonks down
She's burning the hony tonks down,
She caught me, running around
She was dancing in the ashes,
They caught her with the matches
She's burning the honky tonks down
Yeah, she's burning the honky tonks down
I tried but I could not put it out
I did the best to save the whisky
But the flames were just too risky
She's burning the honky tonks down
She's burning the honky tonks down,
She could not stop that honky tonks sound,
Yeah he persisted like a griddle
When I backed out with my fiddle
She's burning the honky tonks down
Burn it down baby
Yeah she's burning the honky tonks down
She's down in the jailhouse now
They said she felt no remorse
For breaking out that torch and
Burning the honky tonks down
She's burning the honky tonks down,
Burning the honky tonks down,
The smoke's been rising all over town
She's burning the honky tonks down
Burning down, baby
Yeah smoke's been rising all over town
She's burning the honky tonks down
