Well that big red sun was sinkin' slow

That rising had a haunting glow
                                             C5
I could see those heat waves rising off the ground

             G5
We were sittin'on go at that old stop sign

Headlights shinin' on the county line
                                         C5
It was do or die, had to get out of that town

              A5
Well honey, you said run
    C5         D5
We were so young

  G5
Tryin' to the world on fire
  C5
Turn the key and spark the wire
 E5                    D5         C5
Chasin' down a feelin' runnin' on desire
      G5
The future was an open road
C5
Gone in a cloud of smoke
E5                    D5                 C5
Leavin' a trail of flames behind those tires
C5                      D5              G5
Just you and me girl, settin' the world on fire

C5                                     G5                C5
          Yeah, we were settin' the world on fire

  G5
We were blazin' down the road like Kerouac

No time to stop and cover our tracks
                                         C5
We were too damn hot for any one town to hold

 G5
Yeah, we burned through a few good years

Then you started looking back in that rear view mirror
                                     C5
Right outside of Reno the trail got cold
                    A5           C5          D5
You said you'd had enough of this ramblin' love

G5
Tryin' to set the world on fire
C5
Turn the key and spark the wire
E5               D5             C5
Chasin' down a feelin' runnin' on desire
G5
The future was an open road
C5
Gone in a cloud of smoke
E5                    D5           C5
Leavin' a trail of flames behind those tires
C5                                    D5                          
F5      C5     D5     D5
For a while there girl, we were settin' the world on fire

 G5
Pullin' on a lucky strike 'bout to head west

Ridin' off into God's sunset
                                    C5
It's times like this a always think of you
                A5       C5        D5
But honey you know me I'll always be..

G5
Tryin' to the world on fire
C5
Turn the key and spark the wire
E5                            D5             C5
Chasin' down a feelin' runnin' on desire
G5
The future was an open road
C5
Gone in a cloud of smoke
E5                   D5                C5
Leavin' a trail of flames behind these tires
C5                      D5                          G5
See I'm out here girl settin' the world on fire

C5                                    G5
          I'm settin' the world on fire
C5                                            G5
          Yeah, I'm settin' the world on fire
