Let It Burn
Well, if I had a nickel for every line this town put on my face
If I had a dime for every time I said I was fixing to leave this place
It would help me buy the gas I'm about to pour on everything I've seen
I can't be sentimental when it don't mean nothing to me
Let it burn, burn, just let it burn
Well, I'm sick of hangin' 'round here waiting for the tide to turn
It don't matter if it's far or near, just as long as I get out of here
Let it burn, let it burn
I work too damn hard to wind up in this shotgun shack
To get a little behind and have a man come and take it back
They're all breathing down my neck waiting for me to fall
Well, if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Let it burn, burn, momma let it burn
I can't wait to see 'em all when they ain't got nowhere to turn
I watch the flames light up the sky
Blow 'em a kiss as I wave goodbye, yeah
Let it burn, burn, just let it burn
Well, I'm sick of hangin' 'round here waiting for the tide to turn
Yeah, even if I wanted to stay, they'd probably run me outta here anyway
Let it burn
If I had a dime for every time I said I was fixing to leave this place
It would help me buy the gas I'm about to pour on everything I've seen
I can't be sentimental when it don't mean nothing to me
Let it burn, burn, just let it burn
Well, I'm sick of hangin' 'round here waiting for the tide to turn
It don't matter if it's far or near, just as long as I get out of here
Let it burn, let it burn
I work too damn hard to wind up in this shotgun shack
To get a little behind and have a man come and take it back
They're all breathing down my neck waiting for me to fall
Well, if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Let it burn, burn, momma let it burn
I can't wait to see 'em all when they ain't got nowhere to turn
I watch the flames light up the sky
Blow 'em a kiss as I wave goodbye, yeah
Let it burn, burn, just let it burn
Well, I'm sick of hangin' 'round here waiting for the tide to turn
Yeah, even if I wanted to stay, they'd probably run me outta here anyway
Let it burn
