five years since you went away
hurts like it was yesterday
play with fire and you're gonna pay
lord knows I'm tired of paying
I'm sick of living in the past
you took my heart and I want it back
you were my first but you didn't last
you just caused me frustration
tonight I'm gonna set myself free
I gotta brand new recipe

and it's a can or two of gasoline
one match and a mighty big flame
all the heartache and suffering
is going to melt inside of me
a picture book
and a pile of you're clothes
you and me going up in smoke
a sure fire way of letting go
yeah nothing burns like a memory

I got a bottle of 80 proof
I'll tell you what were gonna do
two for me one for you
well hunny heres to liberation
no more pain and misery
I finally found my remedy

it's a can or two of gasoline
one match and a mighty big flame
all the heartache and suffering
is going to melt inside of me
a picture book
and a pile of you're clothes
you and me going up in smoke
a sure fire way of letting go
yeah nothing burns like a memory

burn baby burn
burn baby burn
burn baby burn
burn baby burn

it's a can or two of gasoline
one match and a mighty big flame
all the heartache and suffering
is going to melt inside of me
a picture book
and a pile of you're clothes
you and me going up in smoke
a sure fire way of letting go
yeah nothing ohh nothing
ohh nothing ohhh burns like a memory
