Jason Aldean - "Burnin' It Down"

Written by Chris Tompkins, Rodney Clawson, Brian Kelly and Tyler Hubbard. Produced By Michael Knox Released by Broken Bow Records in July 2014.

You slipped your finger through the tear in my T-Shirt

You stirring up dirty in the back of my mind

You keep on flirting cause you know that it’s working

You stuck in my head girl, riding the lines

Couldn’t sing this song without you if I tried

Lets light it up like it’s our last night

Chorus

We’re just hangin’ around burnin’ it down

Sippin’ on some cold Jack Daniels

Jammin’ to some Old Alabama with you baby,

laying right here naked in my bed

I’m just doing my thing, you love it when I sing

Saying it makes you feel like an angel

We’re about to get tangled up right about now

So girl, lets 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

Lets hit the switch and let our shadows dance

And light it up like it’s our last chance

Chorus

We’re just hangin’ around burnin’ it down

Sippin’ on some cold Jack Daniels

Jammin’ to some Old Alabama with you baby,

laying right here dreaming in my bed

I’m just doing my thing, you love it when I sing

Saying it makes you feel like an angel

We’re about to get tangled up right about now

So girl, lets keep burning it down

Burning it down, burning it down

Burnin' it down, burnin' it down

Burnin' it down, burnin' it down

I wanna rock it all night, baby girl will you rock it with me

I wanna crawl through the dark just to feel your heart beat against me

I wanna rock it all night, baby girl will you rock it with me

I wanna crawl through the dark just to feel your heart beat against me

Chorus

We’re just hangin’ around burnin’ it down

Sippin’ on some cold Jack Daniels

Jammin’ to some Old Alabama with you baby,

laying right here naked in my bed

I’m just doing my thing, you love it when I sing

Saying it makes you feel like an angel

We’re about to get tangled up right about now

So girl, lets keep burnin' it down

Burnin' it down, burnin' it down

Burning it down, burning it down

Burning it down, burning it down

I wanna rock it all night, baby girl will you rock it with me

I wanna crawl through the dark just to feel your heart beat against me

    Different first single than what he usually releases but i like it and my wife does too. This makes me more excited for the new album.

    I don't mind that it's a suggestive song. I have a problem with the way it's written. Sounds like something a very young teenage boy would write. No nuance. Sure can't accuse anybody of being too subtle on this one.

      Really, Eleanor? I'm not saying that I enjoy this song . After listening to it once it was OK at best, maybe after some time it will grow on me. But awful, terrible, gross, demeaning, degrading and an insult to women? Sounds a bit over the top to me but this is America and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just dont happen to agree with yours.

      Not to defend this song in anyway melodically, but lyrically, Have you listened to Conway Twitty? Or others? the 1970s were littered with songs with worse language than this (though we're sure there will be a radio edit that changes the one line in that chorus to reflect the second chourus' change).
