Burnt Man

I’ve had a couple drinks
And it’s getting late
But I’m goin' home anyway
Was there something else you wanted to say?
And all these people
Just give me a headache
And it don’t matter what your friends think
You know, they’re all just a trick of your mind
And I know it’s easier to give up
And it makes more sense to walk away
But I stay long cause I am strong and that’s what makes me
The man who stayed
Holy Mama, where are you now?
When I been sufferin' oh and how
Everything that I had life took away
And we hurt eachother habitually
Ain’t it a wonder we never see
That we only hurt ourselves and we’ll never be free
And I have been up to the mountain
And I’m lonelier down here than I’ve ever been, oh
But I stay long cause I am strong and that’s what makes me
The burnt man, the burnt man, the burnt man, the burnt man
(burn)
I used to think if I used up my love then it’d be gone
Oh, but it goes on and on and it is strong
