It all starts with a burning flame
Getting out of trouble rolling again
Through these eastern woods we ride
Sick of each other we soon decide
With a bottle of bourbon and the truth
Once again we have found our youth
And now we're misunderstood
With only nonsense to prove
we never really could
From so many times before
You think we would have learned
That burning bridges wasn't the only solution
And now we all end up burned
With a bottle of bourbon and the truth
Once again we have found our youth
And now were misunderstood
With only nonsense to prove
We never really could
Full of emotion
A depth so fatal
Spoken devotion
Ends with a bottle and a pale
