Burdens Lyrics - American Man - The Yawpers

Verse 1 

Well I recall an endless summer 

The worst I've ever had 

Been huffing gasoline in my best friend's Trans Am 

Life in this town ain't as easy as it seems 

It eats up your heart and it spits away your dreams 

Verse 2 

I'd rather not think about it 

You know it only brings me down 

Been working scrubbing dishes at the diner way downtown 

I'm saving up my money, going to take a Greyhound 

My back is what is needed, and I'll never settle down

Chorus 

Well come on baby, say the visions in my head 

Another night in this town is turning my eyes red 

And maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead 

But I'm only 17, I'm headed for the sun 

I'm getting out of here while I'm young enough to run 

Verse 3 

(?) 

And the shadows when in flight 

Make every breath a prayer, make every word a fight 

You know every sign of failure, I know I'm sure I might 

I'm 17 so please let's blow this town tonight 

Chorus 

Well come on baby, say the visions in my head 

Another night in this town and I'll be the walking dead 

And maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead 

But I'm only 17, I'm headed for the sun 

I'm getting out of here while I'm young enough to run!

Verse 4 

You know it ain't all over till the angels take me home 

And the only things that matter are the ones you do alone 

My journey will be endless, my voice will shake your bones 

Well at least I'll have a story when it's time to go home (?) 

Chorus 

Well come on baby, say the visions in my head 

Another night in this town and I'll be the walking 

And maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead 

But I'm only 17, I'm looking for some fun 

I'm getting out of here while I'm young enough to run!
