I've been a soulless child I've been a soulless child I was a messed up kid with a thorn in my side They said 'I bet you die young son' 'Yeah I bet you die young' That might be, we'll see If death catches up to me So who are you trying to change my ways? Oh, you see I'm burning and burning all the way through 'Til I get back to you I'm coming back to you I'm coming back to you I'm coming back yeah This is a dead end town This is a dead end town Nothing here for an eager young man to be found So we're filling our whiskey Act on bad ideas We'll burn this town to the ground If that's the way you like it son Restless night, I can see the light burn bright A reckoning, I'll return the night And all this time we've been growing apart, my love You see I'm burning and burning all the way through Til I get back to you
