Burn, Burn, Burn

C
Everyone seems a damn genius lately

Tik-tok talking, late-night TV
 Am              G           C
Still so much I have yet to know

C
We get dressed up just to go 
downtown

In some ego-filled late night crowd
    Am                  G     
It seems it's where I feel most 
     C
alone

C
I'd like to get lost on some old 
back road

Find a shade tree and a honey hole
     Am           G      C
And talk to my grandpa again

    C
And I see God in everything

The trees and pain and nights in the
 spring
    Am        G                C
So why do I still long for a home?

C
I'd like to lay in a field on a cozy
 blanket

And feel the fear of never wakin'
Am                  G           C
To know the true warmth of the sun

C
I'd like to love my lady long and 
hard

And lay down lines of laymen guitar
 Am               G           C
Never leave her loving arms again

C
My exes hate me and my friends all 
miss me

I wanna drown in a rot gut whiskey
Am                 G         C
Leave this small town for awhile

C
Heading to Paris on a late-night 
flight

Find a bar and get in a fight
Am                      G         C
Write a few poems on a sunny balcony

C
I wanna be a child climbing trees 
somewhere

Breathing in the fresh outside air
Am                      G    
And before I knew this life was 
      C
unkind

C
I want a well-trained dog on a 
couple of acres

A kind, kind lady and a place to 
take her
Am                        G      
Few good friends I can count on 
           C
one of my hands

C
I know I'm bound to die one day

So when I reach those golden gates
Am               G              C
I pray to say I did the best I can

C
Sit with my mother and the dearly 
departed

Send a prayer down to the 
broken-hearted
Am                 G             
Let 'em know it all turns out 
   C
just fine

C
To know me is to love me and to hate
 me is to wrong me

I prefer my nights so lonely
Am                    G          
Love blues guitar, muscle cars, 
    C
and gin

C
I'm a simple man, I don't need much

Just my simple songs and some human 
touch
Am                       G       
I'm tired now, so I'm bringin' my
      C
 ass home

Am         F           C
So let me go down the line
                G
Let me feel it all
                Am
Joy, pain, and sky

Am          F           C
So let me go down the line
         G                   Am
We all burn, burn, burn and die

Am         F           C
So let me go down the line
                G
Let me feel it all
                Am
Joy, pain, and sky

Am          F           C
So let me go down the line
         G                   Am
We all burn, burn, burn and die

Am         F           C
So let me go down the line
                G
Let me feel it all
                Am
Joy, pain, and sky

Am          F           C
So let me go down the line
         G                   Am
We all burn, burn, burn and die
