Lyrics

Burn Down The House

This life we’re living is on borrowed time
A fortune built on one thin dime
We’ve got a paper trail and a house of cards
How can living easy be this hard?

CHORUS:
I’m gonna drive my car into the river
And burn the house down to the ground
A brand new start, that’s what I’m after
So I’m headed fast to higher ground.

I’m gonna put my feet in some rushing water
I’m gonna travel light and live off the land
Climb out the window with just a backpack
And build a new life with my bare hands

Burn down this house and all the stuff that’s in it
I’m gonna change my name and drive away
I could just be gone in a New York minute
And never once look back at the mess I’ve made
