Don Henley - That Old Flame Lyrics

Damn this is a hella good song. It describes an old relationship of mine with a die hard guy from years ago. He keeps trying and he he doesn't understand, nothing stays the same. He always gets burned trying to rekindle the old flame.

U will get burnt wen u try to rekindle that ole flame

Thanks Don. I need to heed this advice. T'aint easy. And your earlier cover: You're Not Drinkin' Enough also relates here. But check out Sarah Vaughn's incredible sculpting of the old Classic, My Old Flame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQifeJuAEVc

I love you Daddy, I'm so sorry Daddy I have no knowledge about anything and everything I know nothing at first Daddy please forgive me but the second one on my iPhone I want to prove to myself about something I was very curious about something about my personality I want to help to know something to prove I can do something but I found out I can't do anything I'm very stupid I'm so sorry Daddy I was hysteric I broke my other phone.I have kids and family now and I want to give nice things for them if only I can do something but I can't, I can't do anything Daddy I'm so sorry for being stupid like this. Please forgive me Daddy please I really wanna see Daddy please I wanna talk with you infront please let me see you Daddy please I wanna see you Dad please please please please give some of your time with me Daddy please I want your time Dad please

Why are they blocked?

so goooood.

Love Ya Don Henley

The only music not blocked in the USA sucks. Henley and The Eagles are going to die in obscurity.

where is the Vid

Why isn't I won't go quietly on your play list.
I purposely came to only share it from your channel as I like to try and make sure you guys get your money..
Ex musician here..
I know..you gave at the office..
I want that song to be the theme song for all of survivors of pedophiles..we will not go quietly.

Damn there were so many predators in the seventies..i chose not to be in La la land.
Not that it matters..

It's like a hemorrhoid that doesn't stop itching.....goes away u think it's almost curried.....damn itch back again

Love this man and his voice, one of a kind! 💞

Gotta love this one right here .....great duet ...

Been there and did not do it! So happily moved on! 👍

You don't get better than Don Henley & Martina

Love That Old Flame - the album must be a winner - Not released before Sept. 25th or close (Cass County- original name) Sorry for my mix up -running back & forth with little Kiwi -he's ok - his tummy was upset - all is well now!!!

Don's album a winner I hope - This song is amazing - hope he wrote it but Martina McBride been a huge fan of hers for ages - They make a great pair - voices perfect together!! Thanks for sending my friend!!!

Always a fan, Don, my favourite Eagle and the album and this song is no exception to his amazing talent and vocals. 💜

Don and Martina really compliment each other. Great mix.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SINGERS IS,DON HENLEY.

Hey Don, if you are out there and ever look in on this... The music is still fantastic. Cass County is wonderful and meets me just where I am... 70 years old looking at life and understanding some things from a little different view than maybe I did in the '60s. This fan grew up in North Texas, shares some of the same memories and loves the music that comes from the heart of those times. Keep writing, singing and rekindling those feelings, thoughts & good times. We never stop being a little wild, free and expressive!

I loved it when he worked with Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks. My fave collaborations.

That Old Flame so mysterious
I Love you Daddy

Speak to me plain. Tell me the truth.
Is it really me you miss, or just your long-lost youth?

Great writing. Lovely alliteration.

No music no life without Don Henley voice and music to hear everyday.,You are my inspiration

Love the song! Been there and decided not to do it! ☺

I LOVE the photo used above!!!! Just........simplicity and perfection!

The DON.😎

Yes you can. A guy I knew from over 20 years ago found me on FB. I thought he might be what I have been missing in my life. But, he is know married and I am single. I feel like I am getting burned. I love him so. My fault.

Dons voice is timeless. ,Love this song.

Don Henley is a legend. Wish he was not such a scrooge of allowing his video being viewed. I miss seeing the Boys Of Summer and End Of The Innonence. I want my daughter to see his music. He writes music tgat captures the essence of being human. Come on Don. I will pay for lincese to those videos to view them if there was a pay to play video platform.

I love you!, thanks, u the best , YES!

love the eagles for a long time, great album of our Don! keep on going :-))

Henley and Linden, Texas- I am sure he doesn't remember me but I love his talent!

Love this. The lyrics tell such a good story, you can actually see it playing like a movie. In interviews, Don said it is based on a true story, and that the internet is a blessing (lots of information in seconds), and a curse (the past can catch up with you).

Forever a Henley fan!

If there was anyone who ever had both the personal and objective experiences of life, living et al it is Don Henley. Gifted songwriter, musician, arranger and producer. Vinny, I recommend all of his solo albums prior to this.

Such a nice song to listen and relax to, glass of wine in hand.

This is one of my favourite renditions of That Old Flame; a more rock'ish spin, but well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zT0PwAYLiQ

Geez, it's been two years since the last response on this beautiful piece of music.Thank you!!!

Great vocals! Synergy

This song speaks for it self amazing i hate looking back in life but some times u got to ,to be clear of whats infront of u .old shoes new feet ........xx

And im not asking for no replay. .Can I borrow a cup of kindness. ..Iv only have myself to blame. ....❤

my favorite drummer , singer , songwriter ever !

Really dig this song & the whole "Cass County" album💋 LOVE the beautiful harmonic duets❤Absolutely brilliant Mr. Henley! My friends & family loved their limited edition "Cass County" album Christmas gift. Thank you Mr. Henley❤❤❤

Beautiful songs don

My father played this song for me when it came out and i played it during a drive to Germany in an Audi A5 doing 190km/h on Autobahn and i felt free from everything, while i was driving <3

Shiloh- same old story

Where do you guys take Mattina and Don to be the Eagles?

awesome but not the Eagles!

I agree with the lyrics to this song. Great song.

I love Don Henley!!!!

Ain't it the truth

nice....but the lyrics are a millennial update from a song on his first album. oh well. he chose well by including Martina McBride. SHE is amazing.

Flipping awesome

There was a time when I knew every Eagles song by heart. Lordy! Now there's so many I still like all of 'em. Remember the blue bird? lol

Some flames never fully burn out.  Even after decades, they can be brought back with the slightest of suggestions.  A song, a sight, a word.  Wish this weren't the case but seems to be the way it is...Irrespective of the impact, great work on this Don and Martina...Thanks for the music...Ed<><

He's the best!!!

EXCELENTES CANCIONES!!!!

That song rocks likes a steam locomotive through a tunnel of love and despair and hope.

still got the voice shame hes not got the songs never thought he would sink so low even bob harris would find it hard to like this

Too country for me, I'll just go back to his old recordings

I don't hear this song enough on the radio (nor the other single-worthy songs, besides, "Take A Picture Of This"). I wish they had made an actual music video for this tune, featuring Don and Martina...whenever I hear it, I always picture how the video would look, inc. the roaring fire w/ Don and guitar. The duet with Stevie is a new classic in both of their oeuvres, and sits nicely next to "Leather And Lace"-- radio play, please? It is criminal how this double LP was overlooked at the Grammy Awards of 2016/2017...I thought for sure that Don would pick up at least the award for Best Country Album. I'm not much of a Country Music fan, though, I've always respected it and its history, and its especially American roots; but, Don Henley makes the trip (down South), the experience, and the education as comfortable, powerful, genuine, fun, and memorable as it can be for a City Boy. Thus, this album sits next to Vince Gill's THESE DAYS Box Set/Quadruple LP/CD , as an experience/education that I can always relive/rediscover again. I hope the 2-LP has gone Gold (and then some...like Double Platinum) by now...I'm glad it was a #3 Pop/#1 Country/#1-Overall Seller upon its debut, though, I expected no less. Don, I was literally raised on The Eagles' music since I was a toddler in the mid/late-1970s, so, thank you for the good, diverse work then, since, and beyond. I wish you and The Eagles (along w/ Junior Eagle Deacon) a great Summer performing at the East/West Concerts. Please, tell Mick Fleetwood to make a ginormous Box Set/Quadruple LP/CD/DVD of the best of the proceedings and festivities...$$$...it's certainly a landmark moment for your respective groups, and everyone else that'll be appearing/performing there; so, it definitely warrants posterity. Peace and (Country) Rock 'N' Roll, Sir!

Thank you Don, for lifting the spirits, and transforming lives. Not only through your music, but your example as a human being. You have been my role model since I was 13, and 37 years later I still look up to you and your ideals as my own. Thank you for everything you've meant to me, and all the Eagles family.

go to pbs.org. vidios. can record wbhole album live from them .made in austin

Best song on Cass County. I'm 74 and am an Eagles fan from the very beginning. Hope their's more to come, Don.

Lov that Cherokee coming out I'm beat

got a charrokee best. Lov it

I luv it!

civilian public realm series plan attach quit primary encounter

Like it like it like it like it

From France, hey Don, I listened you since I was 15 with your first band SHILOH
Now,I'm 61 and you continue to be a part of my life.

I invited my 15 year old daughter to the concert in Montreal...she was brought up with The Eagles music and really impressed with someone older than Justin Bieber...we both are fans!!!!

probably got used by a lot of people being rich and famous, just saying (and still does!)

Ah, Martina... that lovely voice comes across clear as a bell! Great song.

love Don Henley xxx

One of the very best albums he has ever done (personal opinion)

Who else thinks this is about Glenn,am I the only one?

just a great foot stumping song by great artist, very good album, thanks don

Martin j Murphy what the hell is foot stumping

:) Lovely lovely lovely... what else is there to say..........

even in the darkest night"""                                                      the flame burns!! bright!!!!

Don is the guvnor!

The break in this song is perfect, as are many on the CD. And, from what little I know, that's the trickiest part of songwriting. The man knows what he's doing.

Don Henley and Martina McBride   Just love this...they Are the best.!

One Word - Legend !!

bill kay legendS legend with an s at the end because you have.martina on the song as well. She's just as much a legend as don is

If you liked That Old Flame you might also like This Old Flame by Poco's Paul Cotton.
" You went to get some cigarettes that was last July you didn't get them yet? Now you expect me do deal you out calling me collect there aint no doubt when this old flame went out..."

Great song! Henley doesn't write bad lyrics. He's a wonderful song-writer.
