5000 Acres Lyrics

Dirty, ugly south,
There's no trouble from the law.
The highway's runnin' out,
I haven't gone too far.
I like to see it burn.
Yes, it makes me feel right.
To use up all the fuel
And make the nighttime bright.

I'm gonna make the nighttime bright.
I'm gonna make the nighttime bright.
Dirty oil in this engine runs
As 5,000 acres burn,
5,000 acres burn,
5,000 acres burn in California.

I'm in Mississippi now,
It's unusually cold.
I'm laughin' 'cause I'm wrong;
I'm not what I've become.
I'm not what I've become,
I'm not what I've become,
I'm not what I've become.

Dirty oil in this engine runs
As 5,000 acres burn,
5,000 acres burn,
5,000 acres burn in California.
