Dolly Parton closed the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards with a premiere performance of “World On Fire” from her upcoming album Rockstar.

Dolly Parton joined Garth Brooks to co-host the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards, which streamed live on Prime Video May 11, 2023, from the Ford Center in Frisco, TX. Closing out the show, Dolly gave everyone a sneak peek of her highly-anticipated Rock album Rockstar, with a premiere performance of the lead track from the album, “World On Fire.”

Official “World On Fire” Lyrics

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

Now I ain’t one for speaking out much
But that don’t mean I don’t stay in touch
Everybody’s trippin’ over this or that
What we gonna do when we all fall flat

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
What we gonna do when it all burns down

I don’t know what to think about us
When did we lose in God we trust
God Almighty, what we gonna do
If God ain’t listenin’ and we’re deaf too

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

Don’t get me started on politics
Now how are we to live in a world like this
Greedy politicians, present and past
They wouldn’t know the truth if it bit ‘em in the ass
Now tell me what is truth
Have we all lost sight

Of common decency
Of the wrong and right
How do we heal this great divide
Do we care enough to try

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
What we gonna do when it all burns down

Billy got a gun, Joey got a knife
Janey got a sign to carry in the fight
Marching in the streets with sticks and stones
Don’t you ever believe words don’t break bones

Oh, can we rise above
Can’t we show some love
Do we just give up
Or make a change

We know all too well
We’ve all been through hell
Time to break the spell
In heaven’s name

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down
Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down)
Show some love
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire,
Still got time to turn it all around)
Let’s rise above
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down)
Let’s make a stand
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down)
Let’s lend a hand
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Still got time to turn it all around)
Let’s heal the hurt
(Liar, Liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down)
Let kindness work
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down)
Let’s be a friend
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down)
Let hatred end
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do)
Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down
Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down

Listen to “21 Forever,” Chris Janson’s new song featuring Dolly Parton and Slash.

Dolly Parton and fellow Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame member, Slash, have teamed up with multi-platinum singer-songwriter Chris Janson for his latest focus track, “21 Forever.” The soaring track, written by Janson, Tommy Cecil and Tom Douglas, speaks on that transitional time in life when you’ve grown out of the youthful partying and start embracing life in a whole new way – realizing that you “can’t be 21 forever” and understanding the beauty of growing up.

“I’m so thrilled to announce that two Global Icons have joined me in song for my absolute biggest collaboration to date,” Chris said. “Dolly and Slash, it doesn’t get any BIGGER than that. I’m incredibly humbled and grateful for these two. Hope you all enjoy ‘21 Forever.’”

 

Stay tuned for more from Chris Janson as he prepares the release of his latest album via Big Machine Label Group/Harpeth 60 Records, due out early this summer. The lead track off the upcoming album, “All I Need Is You,” is currently impacting Country radio and is leaping up the charts.

“21 Forever” – Now Available to Stream

Dolly’s collaboration with Slash and Chris Janson, “21 Forever,” is now available to stream, from the album The Outlaw Side of Me, available June 16.

“Love is Like a Butterfly”

Your laughter brings me sunshine
Every day is springtime
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together, we belong like daffodils and butterflies

Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Love,

Dolly Parton
