Burnin It Down

[Verse]
D
When I was a boy, there were no limitations
D
Said my goodbyes at the Greyhound station
G                G/F#               Em
Here I am half a mile from where I grew up
     D
In a parking lot sitting in my pick-up truck


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


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


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


[Solo]
D   D   G  G/F#  Em  D


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


[Verse]
D
So I'm watching the faces coming and going
D
Some of them strangers, some that I know and
G                    G/F#      Em
It doesn't matter how much how long I wait
           D
'Dause the door's always open and it's never too late


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