Burnin It Down

(album: The Low Highway - 2013)

'Fore I was born, there were no limitations
Said my goodbyes at the greyhound station
Here I am half a mile from where I grew up
In a parking lot sitting in my pickup truck

And I'm thinking bout burning it down, boys
Thinking bout burning it down
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town…

Ten gallons of gas and a bottle of propane
I took the lighter off my grill and I still can't
Say for certain that this thing'll blow.
But if it does I'm gonna be the first one to know.

I'm thinking bout burning it down, boys
Thinking bout burning it down
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town
I'm thinking bout burning the Walmart down.

Always used to say I'd come back some day and settle down.
I'm getting old. Got no place to go. It's all come unwound.

So I'm watching' the faces coming and going
Some of them strangers some that I know and
It doesn't matter how much, how long I wait.
Cause the door's always open and it's never too late.

And I'm thinking bout burning it down, boys
Thinking bout burning it down
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town
And I'm thinking bout burning it down, boys
Thinking bout burning it down
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town
I'm thinking bout burning the Walmart down.
Thinking bout burning the Walmart down.
I'm thinking bout burning it down.
