I was out of my mind the first night we met I was feeling lonely and blue I just moved to the country to get me some rest The city put a hurtin' on you Especially a fella from Eastern Kentucky Without a penny or a worth to his name Wasting his life on a burning desire and chasing that honky 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 that I had made for our night Hold on now buddy won't you wait up a minute You're mistaken if you think I'm the same As them skirts you've been chasing all over town Along with that honky tonk flame I'm a woman with a 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 honky tonk flame You were sweet to the touch and a touch for the takin' The minute I learned how to breed Finally found out that the love of a woman Who love me was all that I need Still on the road 'cause I ain't good for nothin' Except writin' the songs that I sing Beating them strings like they're owin' me money And chasing that honky tonk flame But I've got me a woman with a love so true Darlin' to me, but that's misses to you All I did was slow down Quit acting insane Burning my barn in this honky tonk flame

When I get a head full of Honky Red I don't give a good god-damn Well I fought in your wars now I sleep in your doors I left my leg in Iraq All that remains is this ghostly pain when the mornings get too damp I was born in the sticks and I got to grade 6 so I ain't much in demand I deliver handbills and I steal red pills For the boys in the whore-house band When I need a drink I'm chained to a sink It's "please" and "thank you, ma'am."

I am what you are and I'm running too, All for the open prairie. So you can go if you want to I don't own you, go be wild Leave my hand it's wide open So's the door forevermore.
