Jake Owen - Settin' The World On Fire lyrics

rate me

Well that big red sun was sinking slow

That rising hat a haunting glow

I could see those heat waves rising off the ground

We were sitting on go at that old stop sign

Headlights shining on the county line

It was do or die, had to get out of that town

Well honey you said run

We were so young

Trying to set the world on fire

Turn the key and spark the wire

Chasing down a feeling, running on desire

The future was an open road,

Gone in a cloud of smoke

Leaving a trail of flames behind those tires

Just you and me girl, setting the world on fire

Yeah we were setting the world on fire

We were blazing down the road like Kerouac

No time to stop and cover our tracks

We were too damn hot for any one town to hold

Yeah we burned through a few good years

Then you started looking back in that rear view mirror

Right outside of Reno the trail got cold

You said you'd had enough, of this rambling love

Trying to set the world on fire

Turn the key and spark the wire

Chasing down a feeling, running on desire

The future was an open road,

Gone in a cloud of smoke

Leaving a trail of flames behind those tires

For a while there girl we were setting the world on fire

Pulling out a Lucky Strike, bout to head west

Riding off into God's sunset

It's times like this I always think of you

But honey you know me, I'll always be

Trying to set the world on fire

Turn the key and spark the wire

Chasing down a feeling, running on desire

The future is an open road,

Gone in a cloud of smoke

Leaving a trail of flames behind these tires

See I'm out here girl, setting the world on fire

I'm setting the world on fire

Yeah I'm setting the world on fire
