I'm not into going out tonight

Cause lately that honky tonk feeling ain't feeling right

My staying home is best for all concerned

Cause I can't stand to watch my old flame burn

Cause I know where she'll be and that's just where I'd go

Cause there's a fire in me that I just can't control

When she lights up the dance floor all the cowboys wait their turn

And I can't stand to watch my old flame burn

I'm better off to stay here by myself

Cause I'll heat up if I see her with someone else

One cold hard fact of love that I have learned

I can't stand to watch my old flame burn

Cause I know where she'll be and that's just where I'd go

Cause there's a fire in me that I just can't control

When she lights up the dance floor all the cowboys wait their turn

And I can't stand to watch my old flame burn

No, I don't wanna watch my old flame burn
