[Verse 1]
A couple boxes in the backseat, cup of coffee
Just packed the shit that don't remind me
Of who we were before
Start it up and slam the door
It's a shame 'cause I was raised here
I wish I could but I can't stay here
It's either you or me
This place ain't gonna be around no more
[Chorus]
I gotta light this town on fire
Cover all these lonely streets with gasoline
Strike a match, watch it burn down all my memories
I gotta light this town on fire or leave
[Verse 2]
From the corner bar booth to the high school where I met you
County line to county line I see you everywhere in between
But goodbye changes everything
Think of one of two ways to get me over what's over
How you supposed to move on when there's no closure
Yeah you gotta make a run
Start a flame or just get gone
[Chorus]
Now I gotta light this town on fire
Cover all these lonely streets with gasoline
Strike a match, watch it burn down all my memories
I gotta light this town on fire or leave yeah
[Bridge]
It just might end up ashes on the ground
If I don't leave now
[Chorus]
I gotta light this town on fire
Cover all these lonely streets with gasoline
Strike a match, watch it burn down all my memories
I gotta light this town on fire
I gotta light this town on fire or leave
Yeah
Gotta burn it down, gotta light this town on fire
