'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 sittin' in my pickup truck
|
|
And I'm thinkin' bout burnin' it down, boys
|
Thinkin' bout burnin' 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 thinkin' bout burnin' it down, boys
|
Thinkin' bout burnin' it down
|
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town
|
I'm thinkin' bout burnin' 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 comin' and goin'
|
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 thinkin' bout burnin' it down, boys
|
Thinkin' bout burnin' it down
|
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town
|
And I'm thinkin' bout burnin' it down, boys
|
Thinkin' bout burnin' it down
|
Nothin's ever gonna be the same in this town
|
I'm thinkin' bout burnin' the Walmart down.
|
Thinkin' bout burnin' the Walmart down.
|
I'm thinkin' bout burnin' it down.
