Burn It Down

I drove a brand new car

colored black and red

and a big old house

with a king-sized bed

all money could buy

was all that I had

till one day I lied

and my woman said

You know you're playing with fire

burned it down to the ground

down down down to the ground

I traveled in first class

anytime I chose

playing on the road

town to town show to show

And one day it all

came to an end

when she found her sister sleeping in my bed

She said you're playing with fire

burnt me down to the ground

down down to the ground

I went from black to red

all my money spent

from 5th Avenue down

to living in a room

from champagne on ice

to canned beans and rice

I lost everything I knew

just by crossing you

You said you're playing with fire

I burn it down to the ground

down down down to the ground
