Light It Up and Watch It Burn

He had long long hair and wandering eyes
He had a Chevy van and we drove all night
In a Midwest town with snow on the ground
There wasn’t much else to do.

Light it up and watch it burn
Baby just me and you, baby just me and you
Light it up and watch it burn
Baby just me and you.

Under the stars layin’ in his arms
His silver running through my hair
On my way to the West Coast
Just thinkin’ it wasn’t fair.

Tangled up on that dark dirt road
Our silence was so pure
I fell asleep as he held me close
He whispered in my ear.
Baby, I don’t want you to go
Why don’t you stay right here?

Light it up and watch it burn
Baby just me and you, baby just me and you
Light it up and watch it burn
Baby just me and you.

Wakin’ up to the morning light
I’m just passing through
I’m on my way to the West Coast
But baby you’re a dream come true.

Light it up and watch it burn
Baby just me and you, baby just me and you
Light it up and watch it burn
Baby just me and you.
