Arson

Me & my sister Jessie were walkin' home from Sunday school I said let's take the long way, even though it's against the rules She said if daddy finds out ya know there'll be hell to pay And I just said let's do it anyway Then the sirens started wailin', wailin' Down at Jasper Square Jessie grabbed my hand & I said honey don't be scared It's just somethin' burning Somethin' goin' up in smoke It's just someone' learning Somethin' they shoulda learned long ago Just some firemen or the sheriff Nothin to be scared of If they ain't comin' for you And I know They ain't comin for you, no And I know They ain't comin for you, no Trucks along the driveway, hoses lyin' across the lawn Burnt frame of the trailer Everything we had was gone And a siren wailin', wailin' Racin' daddy back to town Jessie started cryin, I said We'll be alright now It's just somethin' burning Somethin' goin' up in smoke It's just someone' learning Somethin' they shoulda learned long ago Just some firemen or the sheriff Nothin to be scared of If they ain't comin' for you They ain't comin' for you They ain't comin' for you Jessie got adopted by our aunt in Abeline And I'll be here in juvie 'till the day I turn 18 And daddy's somewhere he can't touch no one The paper called it arson But I did what had to be done It's just somethin' burning Somethin' goin' up in smoke It's just someone' learning Somethin' they shoulda learned long ago When sister calls I tell her It's okay, I'm sleepin' better Cuz he ain't comin for you Now I know He ain't comin' for you, no Oh I know He ain't comin' for you, no I sleep better, I sleep better Cuz he ain't comin' for you Oh I know, He ain't comin' for you.
