Artist/Band: George Strait
Lyrics for Song: My Old Flame's Out Burnin' Another Honky Tonk Down
Lyrics for Album: Livin' It Up/If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin' [2005]



(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...


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

George Strait's 'My Old Flame's Out Burnin' Another Honky Tonk Down' captures the quintessential Texas country sound with its signature steel guitar and twangy vocals. Released on the 2005 compilation 'Livin' It Up/If You Ain't Lovin', the track exemplifies Strait's mastery of traditional honky tonk storytelling. The song reflects themes of heartbreak and the enduring spirit of the barroom, characteristic of his discography from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. As a staple of his live performances and radio rotation, the recording reinforces his status as a master of the genre, blending nostalgic melody with relatable lyrics about lost love and the resilience of the honky tonk lifestyle.
