____________

CHORUS:
Yeah, we're gonna burn, burn, burn.
And we're gonna shine, shine, shine.
Even if it wears us out,
Or takes us out past these county lines.
We're sick of moving oh, so slow,
And being told where to go.
Making up our minds to burn and shine.
____________

V1.
One soul in a year ain't all that bad,
When it's the only chance you ever had.
Don't you ever wish for something true?
Something to pour your heart and soul into?
____________

PRE-CHORUS.
Take all your feelings, and put 'em aside,
And get what matters on your mind.
____________

CHORUS.
____________

V2.
All you love will surely come and go.
And life is all your moments in a row.
No more cryin' for the days gone by.
And no one ever loses if they try.
____________

PRE-CHORUS.
____________

CHORUS.
____________

SOLO.
____________

FINAL CHORUS:
Yeah, we're gonna burn, burn, burn.
And we're gonna shine, shine, shine.
Even if it wears us out,
Or takes us to the Jackson County line.
We're sick of moving oh, so slow,
And being told where to go.
Making up our minds to burn and shine.
