[Verse]
G
Well, if I had a nickel for every line this town put on my face
G D
If I had a dime for every time I said I was fixing to leave this place
C D
It would help me buy the gas I'm about to pour on every thing I've seen
C F G
I can't be sentimental when it don't mean nothing to me
[Chorus]
C F G
Let it burn, burn, just let it burn
G C D
I'm sick of hangin' 'round here waiting for the tides to turn
G G/B C C#
It don't matter if its far or near, just as long as I get out of here
D
Let it burn, let it burn
[Verse]
G
I work too damn hard to wind up in this shotgun shack
G D
To get a little behind and have a man come and take it back
C D
They're all breathing down my neck waiting for me to fall
C F G
Well if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
[Chorus]
C F G
Let it burn, burn, momma let it burn
G C D
I can't wait to see 'em all when they ain't got nowhere to turn
G G/B
I watch the flames light up the sky
C C# D
Blow 'em a kiss as I wave good-bye. Yeah
[Chorus]
C F G
Let it burn, burn, just let it burn
G C D
Well, I'm sick of hangin' 'round here waiting for the tides to turn
G G/B C C#
Yeah, even if I wanted to stay, they'd probably run me out of here anyway
D
Let it burn
