Let It Burn

Well, if I had a nickel for every line this town put on my face

Hey, 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 every thing I see

I can't be sentimental when it don't mean nothing to me

Let it burn, burn, just to let it burn

Well I'm sick of hanging '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 the 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, mama 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 to let it burn

Well I'm sick of hanging 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
