Gasoline - Lera Lynn

Well I’ve seen you at Sarah’s Hardware Store

Buying long matches, two feet or more

So you don’t have to get too close to

The thing that might bite and burn you, dear

Well I’ve seen you at Mary’s Nursery

Picking up all her sticks and trees

And hauling it home in Abby’s trailer

Building a fire we would savor, dear

Oh you’re so good with gasoline

I’ve never seen a lie burn so clean

Now that I’ve gone up in flames

You’ve found a new friend, ohhh

You said you worked for City Safety

Putting out fires when things get hasty

And scooping up girls, young and helpless

Laying 'em down in smoking dress, oh dear

Well I’ve seen you drive the big red truck

Just barrel through 'cause it’s all luck

That you don’t get stopped at any red lights

There’s no red tape in your sights, oh dear

Oh you’re so good with gasoline

I’ve never seen a lie burn so clean

Now that I’ve gone up in flames

You’ve found a new friend, ohhh

You’ve found a new friend

What happens when wind starts blowing?

Flame spreads and all are knowing

Of house calls and late night fire fighting

And your face gets pasted on

The front page as local con

And lands on the front steps of the city

Well you thought fire could keep you sitting pretty

Oh you’re so good with gasoline

I’ve never seen a lie burn so-

Now that I’ve gone up in flames

You’ve found a new friend

You’ve found a new friend, ohhh
