[Verse 1]
I grabbed my torch and started up a fire
I really don't know why you told us a lie
I see your cards and I know your type
But I hope you're not around when I draw my gun

[Verse 2]
You light a match to my Winston
I've been known to be on my own
All you see is the lights on the road
You're runnin' things, you're runnin' home, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Whiskey on my breath, God'll be my witness
Yeah, I done seen you do things that left a foul taste
I don't like things done the wrong way
No, I don't like things done the wrong way

[Chorus]
Whoa, we know
I'll start a riot in the middle of the night
I will defend my home
And start a riot in the middle of the night (Woo, woo)
I will defend my home
And start a riot in the middle of the night

[Verse 3]
I grabbed my torch and started up afire
Really don't think that we're gonna survive, yeah
You seem smart like you know my type
But I hope you're not around when I draw my gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Light a match to my Winston
I been holding my tongue too long
All you see is the lights on the road
You running things, you're running home, yeah

[Chorus]
Whiskey on my breath, God'll be my witness
I done seen you do things that left a foul taste
And I don't like things done the wrong way
No, I don't like things done the wrong way

[Bridge]
Whoa, we know
I'll start a riot in the middle of the night
I will defend my home
And start a riot in the middle of the night (Woo, woo)
I will defend my home
And start a riot in the middle of the night

[Pre-Chorus 2]
In the night, I've seen the worst of the war
In the night, I've seen the worst of the war
Come on

[Chorus]
Whoa, we know
I'll start a riot in the middle of the night
I will defend my home
And start a riot in the middle of the night (Woo, woo)
I will defend my home
And start a riot in the middle of the night
