Alan Jackson - Burnin' The Honky Tonks Down

(Billy Burnette/Shawn Camp)



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



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
