Burdens
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!
