Well, everyone seems a damn genius lately
TikTok talkin', late night TV
There's still so much I have yet to know
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
And find a shade tree and a honey hole
And talk to my grandpa again
I see God in everything, trees in pain and nights in 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 the sun
Like to love my lady long and hard
And lay down lines of laymen guitar
And 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
I wanna be a child climbing trees somewhere
Breathing 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
A 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
'Cause 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 bringing my ass home

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

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

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

I got one more chorus for you guys if you wanna be in it
To the heavens huh?

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)

Red Rocks huh?
