Lyrics
Intro
"My old man told me to watch my step, but man, she looked like a dream walking through that door. I stepped right on the fuse, boys, and blew my whole world sky-high. Let's shuffle through the wreckage."
Verse 1
She was standing in the doorway under the red lightA beautiful landmine waiting for the dark of nightI knew she was trouble by the way she styled her hairBut I ignored the warnings and I walked right over thereNow my cash is completely gone and my truck won't even startShe walked away smiling with a piece of my broken heart
Chorus
Mid-tempo bakersfield shuffle crowd shoutStep on the fuse! (Crowd: Bang!)Blow it sky-high! (Crowd: Boom!)The landmine girl! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)A beautiful crash! (Crowd: Crash!)Wrecked my whole life! (Crowd: Completely!)Until the night is done! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)
Verse 2
She’s a high-maintenance storm with a tear-dropping smileShe'll make you feel like a king for a little tiny whileThen she’ll throw a total wrench inside your factory gearLeaving you lonely with a warm and flat beerYeah, it’s a futile game that a working man will loseBut man, it sure was fun watching her light up the fuse
Chorus
Mid-tempo bakersfield shuffle crowd shoutStep on the fuse! (Crowd: Bang!)Blow it sky-high! (Crowd: Boom!)The landmine girl! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)A beautiful crash! (Crowd: Crash!)Wrecked my whole life! (Crowd: Completely!)Until the night is done! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)
Bridge
Music drops low - Just a bouncy walking bass and steady snare brush-tapMy wallet is bleeding and my pride is hit real hardBut I’m still holding onto her sweet-talking joker cardCrowd building to a warm, rhythmic chant: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Chorus
The entire band explodes back in with full twangy guitars and steelStep on the fuse! (Crowd: Bang!)Blow it sky-high! (Crowd: Boom!)The landmine girl! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)A beautiful crash! (Crowd: Crash!)Wrecked my whole life! (Crowd: Completely!)Until the night is done! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)tagThe telecaster and steel guitar trade clean, melodic licksYeah, it's a beautiful crashCrowd shouts: She blew my world sky-high!The landmine girlCrowd shouts: Singing our song!
