Hank Thompson – Just An Old Flame lyrics

She just an old flame I don’t recall her name she just happened along
An old sweetheart who played a small part why do you ask me what’s wrong
She was never my kind never on my mind just a casual affair
I seemed to forget just how we met and somehow I really don’t care

That’s what I’ll say when they ask me whatever happened to you
I’ll be too proud tell them you broke my heart into
Just another date I haven’t seen of late what did you say was her name
I’ll smile in disguise hide the tears in my eyes she’s just an old flame

That’s what I’ll say when they ask me whatever happened to you
I’ll be too proud tell them you broke my heart into
Just another date I haven’t seen of late what did you say was her name
I’ll smile in disguise hide the tears in my eyes she’s just an old flame
