She's burnin' the honky tonks down
I tried but I couldn't put them out
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Well, she's burnin' the honky tonks down
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
But the flame's just too risky
Said she felt no remorse
Smoke's been rising all over town
When they caught her with them matches
She was dancin' in the ashes
She's down in the jail house now
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
For breakin' out that torch
Yes, she's burnin' the honky tonks down
Well, that smoke's been risin' all over town
When I ran out with my fiddle
Did my best to save the whiskey
She caught me runnin' around
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Smoke's been a risin' all over town
She couldn't stop that honky tonk sound
Burnin' the honky tonks down
It was sizzlin' like a griddle
She's burnin' the honky tonks down
