Song title: Brian Burns - Burnin' Gasoline

Edit By: 216.73.216.128

He was an old country singer; sparks flew from his fingers
as he stood behind a chicken wire cage,
and the songs he was singinâ€™, they were soulful and honest,
but the frat boys booed him off of the stage.
I bought him a drink and sat down at his table.
He said, â€œboy, if I look tired, I amâ€¦
I drove four-hundred miles just to play for the tip jar,
and nobody here gives a damn.â€

CHORUS:
â€œIâ€™ve spent my life out on some lonesome highway
dead set on chasinâ€™ a dream.
There was a time when this road led somewhere,
but now Iâ€™m just out here
burninâ€™ gasoline.â€

Well, we drank a few more and he talked about the old days
when he wrote songs for Conway and Merle.
He said, â€œson, my tunes were the heart of country music,
but now itâ€™s a whole different world.â€
I said, â€œhereâ€™s to the good ones,â€ and we turned up our bottles
as the bar owner walked through the crowd.
He said, â€œitâ€™s gettinâ€™ late, and you havenâ€™t played your last set,â€
and the old man said, â€œoh, yes I have.â€

REPEAT CHORUS
