Burn it Down
By Luke Peacock

Well we grew up slow, in a no-horse town
Nothing but stoplights on main street, no one ever come around
We swore we’d get away soon as we were grown
Packed that Buick to the tailgates with everything we owned

And we danced all night together by the light of the radio
Singing “Night of the Johnstown Flood” and banging on a piano
And we made ourselves a highway from the town we used to know
Aw, burn it down
I hope we never go back home

We let the daylight break before we hit the road
Caught the 77 southbound headed out for Mexico
Made far as Kingsville before the car broke down
Hitched the last hundred miles into some border town

Where we danced all night together by the light of the radio
Singing “Night of the Johnstown Flood” and missing my old piano
And we made ourselves a highway from the life we used to know
Aw, burn it down
I hope we never go back home

Out on the range tonight there’s a hollow sigh
Wolves howling at the tree line on the back 45
Lord I miss that girl and the no-horse town
But I ain’t nothing that nobody would ever keep around

So I’ll dance all night alone now by the light of the radio
Singing “Night of the Johnstown Flood” and wishing for a piano
I’m just trying to get back somehow to the life I used to know
Or just burn it down, and hope I never get back home
Burn
