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
 Head 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
