"Fire On The Hillside" lyrics

Only one stop light in this one bar town
So how'd you ever think that I wouldn't find out

Didn't want to believe it till I made it back home
But through the screen door I could smell his cologne

Word's spreading like fire on the hillside
It's gettin' 'round that you've been gettin' 'round
Bad news smoke floatin' in the midnight
The devil himself has been in my house

Light it up and burn it down
Leave nothing but some ashes on the ground
Hell, you might even see it from the state line
Tonight I'm gonna start me a fire on the hillside

Nobody thought I was crazy or I'd lost my mind
Hell, even the sheriff himself went and turned a blind eye

You're the talk of the town
You put some dirt on your name
Girl, you can't stop it now
'Cause you're the fuel to the flame
Oh

Word's spreading like fire on the hillside
It's gettin' 'round that you've been gettin' 'round
Nothing good ever happens after midnight
I never thought it would be in my house

Light it up and burn it down
Leave nothing but some ashes on the ground
Hell, you might even see it from the state line
Tonight I'm gonna start a fire on the hillside

Word's spreading like fire on the hillside
It's gettin' 'round that you've been gettin' 'round
Nothing good ever happens after midnight
I never thought it would be in my house

Light it up and burn it down
Leave nothing but some ashes on the ground
Hell, you might even see it from the state line
Tonight I'm gonna start a fire on the hillside

On the hillside
Oh
