[Verse]EI was out of my mind the first night we metB7I was feeling lonely and blueI'd just moved to the country to get me some restEThe city can put a hurtin' on youEspecially a fella from eastern KentuckyAWithout a penny or a worth to his nameEWasting his life on a burnin' desireB7 EAnd chasing that honky tonk flame[Verse]EYou were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearingB7Leaving me helpless of linesTo get you to listen to the way I was feelin'EAnd the plans I had made for our nightHold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minuteAYou're mistaken if you think I'm the sameEAs them skirts you've been chasin' all over townB7 EAlong with that honky tonk flame[Chorus]A D EI'm a woman with a love so trueB7Truth of the matter I'd give it to youE AYou just got to slow down, quit actin' that wayB7 EBurnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame[Verse]EYou were sweet to the touchAnd a touch for the takin'B7The minute I learned how to breatheFinally found out that the love of a womanEWho loved me was all that I'd needStill on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'AExcept writing the songs that I singEBeating them strings like they're owing me moneyB7 EAnd chasing that honky tonk flame[Chorus]A D EBut I got me a woman with a love so trueB7Darlin' to me but that's missus to youE AAll I did was slow down and quit actin' insaneB7 EBurnin' my barn in this honky tonk flame
