Lyrics

Light it up, let the old bells ring
Ashes fall but we're still gonna sing
Kick that door, let the fire roll through
If it's still standing, we ain't through
Light it up [snare hit]
And watch it burn
Fire in the dust and fire in town
We won't stop till it all burns down
Light it up [cymbal crash]
And watch it burn
Well the rooster crowed 'fore the sun came up
I was sippin' on coffee from a chipped tin cup
Boots on the porch, dirt road hummin' low
Got a wild little itch and it's startin' to grow
Old man Johnson said "Boy don't you dare"
But trouble's a tune that I like to share
Struck a match just to see what it'd do
Now the whole darn sky's turnin' bright orange hue
We were laughin' like fools in the midnight glow
Ain't no brakes on a runaway show
Light it up, let the old bells ring
Ashes fall but we're still gonna sing
Kick that door, let the fire roll through
If it's still standing, we ain't through
Light it up [snare hit]
And watch it burn
Fire in the dust and fire in town
We won't stop till it all burns down
Light it up [cymbal crash]
And watch it burn
Miss Sally Mae with her hair pinned high
Was clappin' her hands as the sparks flew by
Sheriff yelled "Hey!" but he tripped on a can
Now he's dancin' 'round like a one-man band
Banjo's pickin', fiddle's screamin' loud
Whole town's gathered in a firelit crowd
Grandma shoutin', "Well I'll be!"
While the flames climb up that sycamore tree
Ain't no sense in slowin' it down
When the night's alive and we run this town
Light it up, let the old bells ring
Ashes fall but we're still gonna sing
Kick that door, let the fire roll through
If it's still standing, we ain't through
Light it up [snare hit]
And watch it burn
Fire in the dust and fire in town
We won't stop till it all burns down
Light it up [cymbal crash]
And watch it burn
Now don't you worry 'bout the mornin' light
We'll laugh 'bout this by Saturday night
A little smoke never hurt nobody's pride
Just a story for the next hayride
Light it up, let the old bells ring
Ashes fall but we're still gonna sing
Kick that door, let the fire roll through
If it's still standing, we ain't through
Light it up [snare hit]
And watch it burn
Fire in the dust and fire in town
We won't stop till it all burns down
Light it up [cymbal crash]
And watch it burn
Yeah we'll light it up 'til the break of dawn
Then tip our hats and just move along
