Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me
[Verse 2]
Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home I'll never be
[PreChorus]
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due
[Chorus]
And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
[Verse 3]
Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow
[Verse 4]
Time everlasting
Time to play B sides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know
[PreChorus]
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
[Chorus]
But I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
[PreChorus]
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due
[Outro]
And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
