Straw and Kerosene

You brought me straw and kerosene

You brought me straw and kerosene

But I got no matches

Now I got no heat

I got a little excited

But it don't feel quite complete

You brought me straw and kerosene

You brought me straw and kerosene

But your straw is wet

I can't get it ablaze

I've been trying to light it now

For eleven nights and days

If you ain't got a spark

You're never gonna light it up

You don't wanna fight it

If you wanna light it up

I learned young to work with what I got

I learned young to work with what I got

I learned young to work with what I got

And I got a lot

I got a lot of patience

And I know just what it's like

To wait around for the perfect lightning strike

You brought me straw and kerosene

You brought me straw and kerosene

Gonna take a bolt from heaven

Gotta send down a sign

Like a 747

Just rushing through my mind

If you ain't got a spark

Never gonna light it up

You don't wanna fight it

If you wanna light it up

You see

I learned young to work with what I got

I learned young to work with what I got

I learned young to work with what I got

And I got a lot

I got a lot of patience

And I know just what it's like

To wait around for the perfect lightning strike

You brought me straw and kerosene

You brought me straw and kerosene
