When I came to this place I'd been broken
When I came to this place I'd been scared
When I came to this place I came through I'd say mostly repaired.
When I faced that the heartache was over
When I stepped up from living low down
When I realized things would be better now that she's hanging around
I took a long last look and burned it down.
So I stand here again starting over
But I sure ain't no stranger to change
I've got a new pair of boots so I guess I'm ahead of the game
How I longed to be part of the story
But I've never been part of the crowd
I guess I've got an outsider's heart and I'm fine with that now
I looked at the shrine I built and burned it down.
Who are you standing out there?
Who are you with that critical stare?
Who am I to even care what you do?
What you do
So I'll sip on my bourbon in darkness
And I'll drink my champagne on the beach
And I'll thank all I have and I'll smile at what's still out of reach
I'll look at the mess I made, and burn it down
