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...
