My Old Flame's Out Burnin' Another Honky Tonk Down

(Wayne Kemp - Mack Vickery - Bobby Borchers)



Just a one pump fil-in' 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

'Til she saw the lights behind those swinging doors.



And everywhere she goes

She leaves the jukebox smokin'

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 burnin'

Another honky tonk down.



--- Instrumental ---



So country, young and pretty

She's never been no where 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 smokin'

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 burnin'

Another honky tonk down.



My old flame's out burnin'

Another honky tonk down...
