Burning Man


[ Featuring Brothers Osborne ]

Half your life you struggle
Half your life you fly
Half your life makin' trouble
Half your life makin' it right
One day I'm the exception
Most days I'm just like most
Some days I'm headed in the right direction
And some days I ain't even close

I'm a little bit steady but still a little bit rollin' stone
I'm a little bit heaven but still a little bit flesh-and-bone
Little found, little don't-know-where-I-am
I'm a little bit holy water but still a little bit burning man
Burning man

Yeah, I always loved the highway
I just don't run it as fast
I still go wherever the wind blows me
But I always find my way back
I still don't get it right sometimes
I just don't get it as wrong
I still go a little bit crazy sometimes
Yeah, but now I don't stay near as long

I'm a little bit steady but still a little bit rollin' stone
I'm a little bit heaven but still a little bit flesh-and-bone
Little found, little don't-know-where-I-am
I'm a little bit holy water but still a little bit burning man
Burning man
Still just a burn, burn, burning man
Just a burning man, woo

Maybe I'll go to the desert
Find myself in the Joshua Tree
If we pass in the night then just hand me a light
And tell me you burned just like me

I'm a little bit steady but still a little bit rollin' stone
I'm a little bit heaven but still a little bit flesh-and-bone
Little found, little don't-know-where-I-am
I'm a little bit holy water but still a little bit burning man
Burning man
Still just a burn, burn, burning man
Just a burning man

Burning man

The Mountain


One, two

Well I bet my soul on a six string gamble
And I climb like hell through the brush and the bramble
Even though I had my doubts, told myself don't look down
And I turned that hill into a pile of gravel

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Yeah, that's only a mountain

Well you better know the bottom if you wanna be a climber
'Cause there's always another one a little bit higher
Just when I think I'm finally done I'm staring at another one
So I reach down deep and I lace 'em up tighter

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Then a couple million more, who's counting?
Yeah, that's only a mountain

Now I'm standing at the top with the sweat behind me
Yeah, you gotta look up if you ever wanna find me

It was only a mountain, nothing but a big ol' rock
Only a mountain, it ain't hard if you don't stop
It just took a little step, a right then a left
Now I'm standing at the top just shouting
Yeah, that's only a mountain
It's only a mountain yeah
It's only a mountain
Only a mountain
Only a mountain
Yeah it was only a mountain

Living


This mornin' I got up at 6:01
I walked out and saw the rising sun
And I drank it in like whiskey
I saw a tree I've seen a thousand times
A bird on a branch and I watched it fly away in the wind
And it hit me
It's a beautiful world sometimes I don't see so clear

Some days you just breath in
Just try to break even
Sometimes your heart's poundin' out of your chest
Sometimes it's just beatin'
Some days you just forget
What all you've been given
Some days you just get by
And some days you're just alive
Some days you're livin'
Some days you're livin', mhm

I went back in and fired the coffee up
She walked in the kitchen like she always does
In my t-shirt and it killed me
And I kissed her like it was the first time
She laughed and looked at me like I'd lost my mind
I said "Baby, I love you
Can't live without you, I know I don't say it enough"

Some days you just breath in
Just try to break even
Sometimes your heart's poundin' out of your chest
Sometimes it's just beatin'
Some days you just forget
What all you've been given
Some days you just get by
And some days you're just alive
Some days you're livin'

Like you never die
Blue's a little bluer up in the sky
Your high's a little high
You feel that fire you've been missing
Some days you're living

It's beautiful world sometimes I don't see so clear

Some days you start singin'
And you don't need a reason
Sometimes the world's just right
Your clear eyes ain't even blinkin'
Got a heart full of grateful
For all you've been given
Some days you just get by
Yeah, some days you're just alive
Some days you're livin', mhm
Some days you're livin' yeah yeah

Livin' like you'll never die
Blue's a little bluer up in the sky
Your high's a little high
You feel that fire you've been missin'
Some days you're living, mhm
Some days you're living

Woman Amen


Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I'd lose my way and I'd lose my mind
If I faced one day on my own
I know I was saved
The night that she gave this drifter's heart a home

Every night I should be on my knees
Lord knows how lucky I am
I'll never say near enough
Thank God for this woman, Amen

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

This world has a way of shaking your faith
I've been broken again and again
But I need all the cracks in my shattered heart
'Cause that's where her love gets in

Every night I should be on my knees
Lord knows how lucky I am
I'll never say near enough
Thank God for this woman, Amen

She gives me faith
She gives me grace
She gives me hope
She gives me strength
She gives me love
Love without end
Thank God for this woman, Amen

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Thanks for the moon and the stars up above
Forgiveness' a sin in your undying love
Every twist every turn for the way you made sure
All my roads led to her

So tonight I will fall down on my knees
'Cause Lord knows how lucky I am
I'm gonna shout at the top of my lungs
Thank God for this woman, Amen
And thank God for this woman, Amen

She gives me faith
She gives me grace
She gives me hope
She gives me strength
She gives me love
Love without end
Thank God for this woman, Amen

You Cant Bring Me Down


You can try to wrap your words like rocks around my ankles
And push me off a bridge in hope that I might drown
Any cheap shots that you got, yeah, I can handle
You don't get this far without knowing how to get up off the ground

So I turn up a cold one, and I turn up the volume
On laugh, on love, on the way I feel right now
Yeah, I learned how to let go, and how to take the high road
I'm on another level, you can't bring me down
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

I'll be the first to say I've made some bad decisions
I been a little quick to call the kettle black
But it's true what they say about forgiveness
And once you find a man, there ain't nothing that can hold you back

So I turn up a cold one, and I turn up the volume
On laugh, on love, on the way I feel right now
Yeah, I learned how to let go, and how to take the high road
I'm on another level, you can't bring me down
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, yeah

There ain't nothing like the way my baby holds me
There ain't nothing like this sweet piece that I've found
It takes off all the shackles, so save yourself the battle
Yeah, ha, you can't bring me down

I'm gonna turn up a cold one, and I turn up the volume
On laugh, on love, on the way I feel right now
Yeah, I learned how to let go, and how to take the high road
I'm on another level, you can't bring me down
Yeah, I learned how to let go, and how to take the high road
I'm on another level, no, you can't bring me down
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, ha
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, yeah

Aw, turn it up

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Nothing On But The Stars


You know we didn't get it right
But it wasn't all wrong
It wasn't just a phase
And it isn't all gone
Before we go and let the lonely
Do what it does
I want one more memory of us

With nothing on but the stars
Through the window pane
Burn your silver silhouette into my brain
I can't have you forever
But I'll take tonight
I wanna remember you right now just like you are
With nothing on but the stars
Yeah

You can take your things
And I'll take my mine
Before you go and leave it all behind
I wanna drink you all up
And you soak you all in
And watch those constellations crawl across your skin

With nothing on but the stars
Through the window pane
Burn your silver silhouette into my brain
I can't have you forever
But I'll take tonight
I wanna remember you right now just like you are
With nothing on but the stars
My hands in your hands in the dark nothing on but the stars

'Cause I ain't ready to let you let me go
Just give me one more night to hold you close

With nothing on but the stars
I can't have you forever
But I'll take tonight
I wanna remember you right now just like you are
With nothing on but the stars
My hands in your hands in the dark nothing on but the stars

Before we go and let the lonely
Do what it does
I want one more memory of us

Goodbye In Telluride


Baby, you ain't gotta wait forever
Before you go and break my heart
If you're thinking that we shouldn't be together
Just leave me in the dark a little longer

Do it on the highway, do it on the drive way
Chevrolet backing out
But not here in this cafe booth with you
Don't ruin this perfect time

Say it's over over on the west coast somewhere
In the middle of the city, New Years Eve time square
If you gotta let me go I'm gonna be alright
Just don't tell me goodbye here in Telluride
No, don't take me down low when we're up this high
Don't you tell me goodbye here in Telluride

Ever since we touched down in Colorado
I could tell something wasn't right
'Cause you look at those snow capped mountain
You won't look into my eyes

Do it in a text, better yet in a letter
You can leave my pillow case
You can rack me back in Tennessee
Anywhere but this place

Say it's over over on the west coast somewhere
In the middle of the city, New Years Eve time square
If you gotta let me go I'm gonna be alright
Just don't tell me goodbye here in Telluride
No, don't take me down low when we're up this high
Don't you tell me goodbye here in Telluride

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Do it on the highway, do it on the drive way
Chevrolet backing out
But not here in this cafe booth with you
Don't ruin this perfect town

Don't say it's over underneath this sky so blue
Don't say it's over, have a little mercy girl, won't you?

Say it's over from your window seat on our flight home
Maybe once we get back do it over the phone
If you gotta let me go I'm gonna be alright
Just don't tell me goodbye here in Telluride
No, don't take me down low when we're up this high
Don't you tell me goodbye in Telluride
Don't you tell me goodbye in Telluride

My Religion


I fell in love on the L train
Headed somewhere north of where you are
Thought I knew where I was going
Now I know I'm going where you are

Ain't gonna lie I've been drinking
That Colorado's got me stoned
And every time I close my eyes the angels are singing
Loving you ain't my decision
Loving you is my religion

I wanna hear what's been hurting
I carve that on a bench in Central Park
And when I showed up there the next day
You'd written your initials in a heart

Ain't gonna lie I've been drinking
That Colorado's got me stoned
And every time I close my eyes the angels are singing
Loving you ain't my decision
Loving you is my religion

I'm in love out in LA
Paris, Tokyo, coast to coast
And it's you that keeps me going
Love from you will always mean the most

Ain't gonna lie I've been drinking
That Colorado's got me stoned
And every time I close my eyes the angels are singing
Loving you ain't my decision
Loving you is my religion

One Way


Well she could be like a song
The kind that with time always comes back on
Something tells me she's gone
There's no coats, there's no rhymes
There's no singing along

I pushed her a little too far for a little too long
It's a little too late to keep her from

Highways and byways that'll take her anywhere but my way
There's so many ways she could say goodbye
Railways and runways
From the way she was looking, I'm afraid that
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time

Well she was like my guitar
Always waiting around just to be in my arms
But you can't play with a heart
Shouldn't ever have left her alone in the dark

I couldn't see it back then
Ah but look at her now
You can't pick it back up once it's headed down

Highways and byways that'll take her anywhere but my way
There's so many ways she could say goodbye
Railways and runways
From the way she was looking, I'm afraid that
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time

I pushed her a little too far for a little too long
Gave her little choice but to get on

Highways and byways that'll take her anywhere but my way
There's so many ways she could say goodbye
Railways and runways
From the way she was looking, I'm afraid that
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time

Son Of The Sun


(One, two, three)

There's a cactus fly way somewhere out there
Knows my deepest thoughts
There's a tumbleweed inside of me that's never gonna stop
There's a mountain out there somewhere I still haven't climbed
You know I love you, baby, I just need a little time

'Cause I'm a son of the sun
A brother to the sky
Sometimes I gotta lose myself
So I don't lose my mind
I get some dust on my boots
Found some truth in the blue
Let the desert air burn inside my lungs
'Cause, baby, I'm a son of the sun

I wanna look down on a valley
Where the river splits the stone
And let the great wide open
Open wide my soul
I could never live without you
I always come back to you
But sometimes I need to catch the wind
And go howl at the moon

'Cause I'm a son of the sun
A brother to the sky
Sometimes I gotta lose myself
So I don't lose my mind
I get some dust on my boots
Found some truth in the blue
Let the desert air burn inside my lungs
'Cause, baby, I'm a son of the sun

I'm a son of the sun
A brother to the sky
Sometimes I gotta lose myself
So I don't lose my mind
I get some dust on my boots
Found some truth in the blue
Let the desert air burn inside my lungs
'Cause, baby, I'm a son of the sun

The son of the sun

Stranger To Myself


Found some old forgotten photographs, yeah
Looking at them kinda made me laugh, at the
Big hair and the, drunk smile
I ain't seen him in quite a while

I been lucky to live two lives but I
Wouldn't want to live that one twice
Yeah the past is best left on the shelf

I was a stranger to myself
Before you came along
Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song
You showed me who I am
You handed me the keys
And I unlocked the door to the better part of me
Without your love
I'd still be
Someone else
A stranger to myself

Just sitting on the porch with you
Knowing now what I never knew, like
How much more the laughter is, when you
Have someone, to share it with
You stretched this heart of mine
A million miles wide
You wouldn't even recognize the old me

a stranger to myself
Before you came along
Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song
You showed me who I am
You handed me the keys
And I unlocked the door to the better part of me
Without your love
I'd still be
Someone else
A stranger to myself

Without your love, without your kiss
Showed me what life really is
I never wanna go back there again
To when

I was a stranger to myself
Before you came along
Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song
You showed me who I am
You handed me the keys
And I unlocked the door to the better part of me
Without your love
I'd still be
Someone else
A stranger to myself

Found some old forgotten photographs
Looking at them kinda made me laugh, at the
Big hair and the, drunk smile
I ain't seen him in quite a while
Uh uh uh

Travelin Light


[ Featuring Brandi Carlile ]

I used to carry my past like a duffel bag
It's been hurting my head and breaking my back
But when you live in the rear view you just crash
Oh, I'm done carrying my past like that

I'm travellin' light
I'm laying it down
All those demons I know I keep dragging round
I'm cutting the ties
I'm dropping the weight
With all my hurt and my regrets and my mistakes
I'm tired of living unforgiven
So I'm travelling light
Oh, I'm travelling light

Don't lay the blame on anyone else
I'm always last to forgive myself
Well starting over is overdue
And these old boots sure feel brand new

I'm travelling light
I'm laying it down
All those demons I know I keep dragging round
I'm cutting the ties
I'm dropping the weight
With all my hurt and my regrets and my mistakes
I'm tired of living oh unforgiven
So I'm travelling light
So I'm travelling light (you know what I'm sayin')

All I'm gonna take it a little bit of faith
And it's all gonna be alright
I only got room for some love and some truth
And a little bit of peace of mind

So I'm travelling light
And I'm laying it down
All those demons, I left 'em buried in the ground
I'm cutting the ties
I'm dropping the weight
I got a one way ticket towards those better days
I'm tired of living oh, unforgiven
So I'm travelling light (I'm travelling light)
Oh, I'm travelling light
Oh, I'm travelling light
I'm travelling light (I'm travelling light)

How Im Going Out


Someday somebody's gonna stop and look

Or scratch their head and say

"What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name"

The story goes

I told one last joke, bum one more smoke

And then paid my tab and just disappeared one day



I've kicked around this old town long enough to see

The one's who left to soon

And the ones who didn't know when to leave



And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel

I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell

Be thankful for the friends I've made

The hungry years, the glory days

Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down

That's how I'm going out



When I go

I'll be another page torn away, a memory made

Another ghost on music road

But I can say

I gave it hell, I rang the bell

But I'll know when there's no more dreams to chase



And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel

I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell

Be thankful for the friends I've made

The hungry years, the glory days

Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down

That's how I'm going out

That's how I'm going out



And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel

I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell

No slowing down, no looking back

Let the credits roll and fade to black

Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down

Sing one more song and lay this guitar down

That's how I'm going out



That's how I'm going out

Someday somebody's gonna stop and look

Or scratch their head and say

"What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name"
