lyrics

An only child, just 6 years old
Found a pack of matches on the floor
She fell in love with the flame forever more

Rub red shoes and ribbons in her hair
She kicked a can of gasoline down the stairs
And sparked her first romance

She sang burn it to the ground
She sang, and true love was found
Dancin', laughin', swingin', swayin',
Burn it to the ground
She sang as she burned that old house down

On the first day of school, smiling ten miles wide
She met a little boy with a tear in his eye
She knew just what to do

With a skip and a hop
she said Let your sobbin' stop
I'm going to show you the truth
With a match in her hand she says This ones for you

They sang burn it to the ground
They sang, and true love was found
Dancin', laughin', swingin', swayin',
Burn it to the ground
They sang as she burned that school house down
