Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You slip your finger through the tear in my t-shirt

You stirrin' up dirty in the back of my mind

You keep on flirtin' 'cause you know that it's workin'

You're stuck in my head girl writing the lines

Couldn't sing this song without you if I tried

Let's light it up like it's our last night

We're just hangin' around

Burnin' it down

Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's

Jammin' to some old Alabama with you, baby

Laying right here, naked in my bed

I'm just doing my thang

You love it when I sing

Say it makes you feel like an angel

We're about to get a little tangled up right about now

So girl let's keep burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Girl, when you want it, you know that I'm on it

You know that I love lovin' up on you

Let's hit the switch and let our shadows dance

And light it up like it's our last chance

We're just hangin' around

Burnin' it down

Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's

Jammin' to some old Alabama with you, baby

...

Laying right here, dreaming in my bed

I'm just doing my thang

You love it when I sing

Say it makes you feel like an angel

We're about to get a little tangled up right about now

So girl let's keep burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Yeah, I wanna rock it all night

Baby girl, will you rock it out with me? (with me)

I wanna crawl through the dark

Just to feel your heartbeat against me (against me)

Yeah, I wanna rock it all night

Baby girl, will you rock it out with me? (with me)

I wanna crawl through the dark

Just to feel your heartbeat against me (against me)

We're just hangin' around

Burnin' it down

Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's

Jammin' to some old Alabama with you, baby

Laying right here, naked in my bed

I'm just doing my thang

You love it when I sing

Say it makes you feel like an angel

We're about to get a little tangled up right about now

So girl, let's keep burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Yeah, I wanna rock it all night

Baby girl, will you rock it out with me? (with me)

I wanna crawl through the dark

Just to feel your heartbeat against me
