Burn, Burn, Burn (Live From Denver)

Everybody still feeling okay in Denver this evening?

Everyone seems a damn genius lately, Tik-Tok talkin', late-night TV
There's still so much that I have yet to know
Get dressed up just to go downtown in some ego-filled late-night crowd
Seems to be where I feel the most alone

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

Like to lay in a field on a cozy blanket
And feel the fear of never wakin'
Know the true warmth of the sun
Like to love my lady long and hard
And lay down lines of laymen guitar
Never leave her lovin' arms again

My exes hate me and my friends all miss me
I wanna drown in rotgut whiskey
Leave this small town for a while
Head to Colorado on a late-night flight
Find a bar and get in a fight
Write a few poems on a sunny balcony

Wanna be a child climbin' trees somewhere
Breathin' in the fresh, outside air
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

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
(Thank you so much, Denver)

So let me go down the line
Wanna feel it all, joy, pain, and sky
So let me go down the line
'Cause 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 die
(I love you guys so much)

So let me go down the line
I wanna feel it all, joy, pain, and sky
So let me go down the line
'Cause we all burn, burn, burn, and die
