Leave It at the Bonfire

Uncle Jim’s Hardware is on its way out

Momma’s ole diner ain’t seen much of a crowd

But Johnny threw the game winning touchdown tonight

GrandDaddy’s turning 80, the train ain’t gonna stop

Highschool sweethearts, they finally tied the knot

And Jamey’s wishing she wasn’t drinking alone tonight

At the end of a long, long working day

Bring all your troubles down to the flame

It’s a come as you are, like embers in the dark

Getting higher and higher

Leave it at the bonfire

About 2 miles down, on seventeen

Just past the barn a little ways, man you should see

Generations gather round this ole town, just living free and that’s the way it should be

At the end of a long, long working day

Bring all your troubles down to the flame

It’s a come as you are, like embers in the dark

Getting higher and higher

Leave it at the bonfire

Momma’s gonna dance, Jim’s gonna smile

Jamey’s got a place she can stay for a while

It’s a come as you are, like embers in the dark

Getting higher and higher

Higher and higher

At the end of a long, long working day

Bring all your troubles down to the flame

It’s a come as you are, like embers in the dark

Getting higher and higher

Leave it at the bonfire
