She was wearing her high heeled pointy boots
here long legs pointed right at me.
It was all I could do to keep from cryin'
when her short skirt raised to praise the lord.
Me and her went out to raise some hell
all over town we rang them bells
with the throttle pulled back and our hearts on fire
we sang a song of our desire.
Well it's you and me 'til kingdom
saddle them boys and fire up the band
it's you and me going out on the town
gonna tear it up, gonna light it up,
gonna burn it down.
Her ma and pa slapped me silly
and kicked my ass outta town.
But I came back for my baby
and burned it all to the ground.
Well it's you and me 'til kingdom
saddle them boys and fire up the band
it's you and me going out on the town
gonna tear it up, gonna light it up,
gonna burn it down.
Gonna burn, gonna burn,
gonna burn it down.
