Burnin Down

Get the baby and the bath water pack it up
Get the truck in the backyard and back it up
It's burnin' down

Tie it off with a little piece of clothes line
Pile it up now if something falls we'll never mind
It's burnin' down

Run along the river, get your brother and your sister
Hurry up now and don't stop for nothing, mister
Burnin' down

Dear mother, it's moving below the ridge
Dear father, it's coming across the bridge
It's burnin' down

Dust to dust and ashes to ashes
Hear the road, feel the heat that's what fast is
It's burnin' down

Tires scream, children quiet and wild eyed
Can't get far enough away from the mountain side
It's burnin' down

Dear mother, it's moving below the ridge
Dear father, it's coming across the bridge
It's burnin' down, burnin' down
