I was out of of my mind the first night we met
I was feeling loneley and blue
I just moved to the country to get me some rest
The city can put a hurtin' on you
Especially a fella from eastern kentucky
Without a penny or worth to his name
Wasting his life on a burning desire and chasing that honkey tonk flame
You were soft on the eyes and a hymn on the hearin'
Leaving me helpless of lines
To get you to listen to the way i was feeling
And the plans I had made for our night
Hold on now buddy won't you wait up a minute
You're mistaken if you think im the same
Cuz them skirts you've been chasing all over town
Along with that honkey tonk flame
Im a woman with love so true
Truth of the matter, i'd give it to you
You just got to slow down and quit acting that way
Burning your barn in this honkey tonk flame
You were sweet to the touch and a touch for the takin'
The minute i learned how to breathe
Finaly found out that the love of a woman
To love me was all that I need
Still on the road cuz i ain't good for nothin'
Except writin the song that I sing
Beating them strings like they're owe'in me money
And chasing that honkey tonk flame
But I've got me a woman with love so true
Darlin to me but that's misses to you
All i did was slow down
Quit acting that way
Burning my barn in this honkey tonk flame
