Burnin’ It Down
[Verse 1]
When I was a boy, 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 pick-up truck

[Chorus]
And I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down
Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town

[Verse 2]
Ten gallons of gas and a bottle of propane
Electric igniter off my grill and I still can't
Say for certain that this thing'll blow
But if it does I'm going to be the first one to know

[Chorus]
And I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down
Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town
I'm thinking 'bout burnin' the Walmart down

[Bridge]
Always used to say I'd come back some day and settle down
I'm getting old, no place else to go, it's all come unwound
[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
And I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down
Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town

I'm thinking 'bout burnin' it down, boys
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down
Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town
I'm thinking 'bout burnin' the Walmart down
Thinking 'bout burnin' the Walmart down
Thinking 'bout burnin' it down
