Settin' The Woods On Fire Lyrics

Comb your hair and paint and powder
You act proud and I'll act prouder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

You're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in your frock of yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
Settin' the woods on fire

We'll take in all the honky tonks, tonight we're havin' fun
We'll show the folks a brand new dance that never has been done

I don't care who thinks we're silly
You'll be daffy and I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili
Settin' the woods on fire

I'll gas up my hot rod stoker
We'll get hotter than a poker
You'll be broke but I'll be broker
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have us a time oh brother,
Settin' the woods on fire.

We'll put aside a little time to fix a flat or two
My tires and tubes are doin' fine but the air is showing' through

You clap hands and I'll start bowin'
We'll do all the laws allowing'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin'
Settin’ the woods on fire

Move It On Over

Comb your hair and paint and powder
You act proud and I'll act prouder
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

You're my gal and I'm your feller
Dress up in your frock of yeller
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller 
Settin' the woods on fire

We'll take in all the honky tonks, tonight we're havin' fun
We'll show the folks a brand new dance that never has been done

I don't care who thinks we're silly 
You'll be daffy and I'll be dilly
We'll order up two bowls of chili 
Settin' the woods on fire

I'll gas up my hot rod stoker 
We'll get hotter than a poker
You'll be broke but I'll be broker
Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

We'll sit close to one another
Up one street and down the other
We'll have us a time oh brother,
Settin' the woods on fire.

We'll put aside a little time to fix a flat or two
My tires and tubes are doin' fine but the air is showing' through

You clap hands and I'll start bowin'
We'll do all the laws allowing'
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowin' 
Settin’ the woods on fire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
