Old Flames Have New Names

(Bobby Braddock, Rafe Van Hoy)
I left town two years ago and moved on up to Idaho
But swore that I¡¯d be back again - Pick up where I left off, oh man
Left behind some lovely ladies
Grown up sexy Texas babies
I got back in town tonight
Anticipating much delight
I pulled out my black book and called up my old lovers
I got five newlyweds and two expectant mothers
Chorus:
All my old flames have new names
There¡¯s a lot of girls in town
Who tied the knot and settled down
I thought I¡¯d start a fire with one of my old flames
But they¡¯ve all got new names
My sexy little dirt road sport is now called Mrs. Davenport
My pretty little black-eyed Susie¡¯s now Mrs. Susan Van Der Hoosie
Rosie who could blow my mind is sister Rose on channel nine
The wildest lover of my life is now a federal judges wife
They don¡¯t want to recognize this old familiar face
I¡¯m just a bad reminder of their wild and woolly days
Repeat Chorus
