Verse 1:
E
I was out of my mind the first night we met
                          B
I was feeling lonely and blue

I'd just moved to the country to get me some rest
                              E
The city can put a hurtin' on you

Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky
                                  A
Without a penny or a worth to his name
                       E
Wasting his life on a burnin' desire
     B                       E
And chasing that honky tonk flame

Verse 2:
 E
You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
                         B
Leaving me helpless of lines

To get you to listen to the way I was feelin'
                                  E
And the plans I had made for our night

Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute
                                      A
You're mistaken if you think I'm the same
                                           E
As them skirts you've been chasin' all over town
    B                       E
Along with that honky tonk flame

Chorus 1:
 A                  D       E
I'm a woman with a love so true
                                   B
Truth of the matter I'd give it to you
                      E                      A
You just got to slow down, quit actin' that way
 B                                     E
Burnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame

Verse 3:
E
You were sweet to the touch

And a touch for the takin'
                                B
The minute I learned how to breathe

Finally found out that the love of a woman
                               E
Who loved me was all that I'd need

Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'
                                 A
Except writing the songs that I sing
                                   E
Beating them strings like they're owing me money
     B                       E
And chasing that honky tonk flame

Chorus 2:
                A             D       E
But I got me a woman with a love so true
                                    B
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you
                    E                   A
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane
B                                    E
