"Burn It Down" lyrics

"Burn It Down"

I started out down around Dallas, Texas
I was making a living until I up and left it
Rags to riches is what it's all about
But running through the money's how the money runs out

And every time things start to go my way
I burn it down like a temple on Judgment Day

I had a good woman down in Mobile, Alabama
She's sharp as a nail, had a body like a hammer
I took off one day in the middle of the night
I was scared of a woman trying to treat me right

But every time things start to go my way
I burn it down like a temple on Judgment Day

I don't know why I do the things I do
Trouble ain't a thing I try to get into
It's a fine line 'tween take and give
And is it life that's hard or the way I'm living

But every time things start to go my way
I burn it down like a temple on Judgment Day
Every time things start to go my way
I burn it down like a temple on Judgment Day
Every time things start to go my way
I burn it down like a temple on Judgment Day
