old flames have new names

Singer:chesnutt, mark

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

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

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
