Burnin' The Roadhouse Down

Steve Wariner

G C G

1. Well the crowd is getting restless, smoky, loud, and hot,

2. Yea, it's a mob out on the dance floor, pressure's getting higher,

3. <Instrumental>

Em A7 D

1. The band is heatin' up and givin' everything they got,

2. One spark from that fiddle bow, could set this place on fire,

3. <Instrumental>

G C G

1. Somebody check the exits, in case a fire breaks out,

2. It's so cool to be here at the hottest place in town,

3. They'll be sifting through the ashes when Saturday rolls around,

G Em

1. We're packed in tight, it's Friday night,

2. Feels so right, it's Friday night,

3. But it's alright it's Friday night

A7 D G

1. And we're burnin' the schoolhouse down

2. We're burnin the schoolhouse down

3. And we're burnin' the schoolhouse down

<CHORUS>

C7 G

We're burnin' it down, we're burnin' the schoolhouse down

G Em A7 D

The band is in full swing and man there ain't no stopping now,

G C G

There'll be nothing left but ashes when Saturday rolls around

G Em

But it's alright, it's Friday night

A7 D G

And we're burnin' the schoolhouse down.
