Burnin' The Honky Tonks Down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down Burnin' the honky tonks down Smoke's been rising 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 could not put them out Did the 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 Burnin' the honky tonks down Smoke's been a rising all over town She's burnin' the honky tonks down
