Verse 1:
E
I was out of my mind the first night we met
B7
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
B7 E
And chasing that honky tonk flame
Verse 2:
E
You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
B7
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
B7 E
Along with that honky tonk flame
Chorus 1:
A D E
I'm a woman with a love so true
B7
Truth of the matter I'd give it to you
E A
You just got to slow down, quit actin' that way
B7 E
Burnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame
Verse 3:
E
You were sweet to the touch
And a touch for the takin'
B7
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
B7 E
And chasing that honky tonk flame
Chorus 2:
A D E
But I got me a woman with a love so true
B7
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you
E A
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane
B7 E
Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk flame
