[E] One of the first songs that was written was about, I play [Em] secondary and tertiary markets
[E] and play small and medium-sized towns where [B] all it takes is one great big huge [Em] big box
store owned by a family with no conscience [G#m] to come in to [F#] completely [E] destroy an entire downtown.
I was a boy there was no limitations, said my goodbyes in the Greyhound [A] station, here
I am a half a mile from where I grew [E] up in a parking lot sitting in a pickup truck and
I'm thinking about burning it down boys, thinking about burning it down.
[A] Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this [E] town, ten gallons of gas and a bottle of propane,
electric igniter off my grill and I still [A] can't say for certain that this thing will
blow, [E] but if it doesn't gonna be the first one to know and I'm thinking about burning
it down boys, thinking about burning [B] it [Em] down.
[A] Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this town, [E] I'm thinking about burning the Walmart down.
[A] [F#m] [E]
[B] Oh it used to [A] say come back someday [E] and settle down, now I'm getting old [A] no place else to
[Em] go, it's all coming [B] around.
So [E] I'm watching the faces coming and going, some I'm strangers and some that I knew [A] ain't.
It [E] doesn't matter [A] much how long I wait cause [E] the door's always open and it's never too
late and I'm thinking about burning it down boys, thinking about burning it down.
[A] Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this [E] town, I'm thinking about burning it down boys, thinking
about burning it down.
[A] Nothing's ever gonna be the same in this [E] town, I'm thinking about burning the [B] Walmart [E] down,
I'm thinking about burning the Walmart down, I'm thinking about burning it down.
