Burn, Burn, Burn

Everyone seems a damn genius lately Tik-Tok talking, late-night TV Still so much I have yet to know We get dressed up just to go downtown In some ego-filled late night crowd It seems to be where I feel most alone

I'd like to get lost on some old back road Find a shade tree and a honey hole And talk to my grandpa again And I see God in everything The trees and pain and nights in the spring So why do I still long for a home?

I'd like to lay in a field on a cozy blanket And feel the fear of never wakin' To know the true warmth of thе sun I'd like to love my lady long and hard And lay down lines of laymеn guitar Never leave her loving arms again

My exes hate me and my friends all miss me I wanna drown in rot gut whiskey Leave this small town for awhile Heading to Paris on a late-night flight Find a bar and get in a fight Write a few poems on a sunny balcony

I wanna be a child climbing trees somewhere Breathing in the fresh outside air And before I knew this life was unkind I want a well-trained dog on a couple of acres A kind, kind lady and a place to take her Few good friends I can count on one of my hands

I know I'm bound to die one day So when I reach those golden gates I pray to say I did the best I can Sit with my mother and the dearly departed Send a prayer down to the broken-hearted Let 'em know it all turns out just fine

To know me is to love me and to hate me is to wrong me I prefer my nights so lonely Love blues guitar, muscle cars, and gin I'm a simple man, I don't need much Just my simple songs and some human touch I'm tired now, so I'm bringin' my ass home

So let me go down the line Let me feel it all Joy, pain, and sky So let me go down the line We all burn, burn, burn and die

So let me go down the line I wanna feel it all Joy, pain, and sky So let me go down the line We all burn, burn, burn and then die

So let me go down the line I wanna feel it all Joy, pain, and sky So let me go down the line We all burn, burn, burn and then die
