Los Lobos Burn It Down lyrics

BURN IT DOWN


I didn’t say a word
It’s only destiny I heard
The time had come for me to run away
“don’t even turn around” is what they say

I couldn’t say a word
It’s only dignity I heard
But once I go, there is no coming back
Throw away all that I one time had

I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down

Had me tied up and I couldn’t breathe
I cut the rope and then I broke free
Whatever was left I threw it down into the dirt
And kicked the dust until my damned eyes hurt


I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down


I couldn’t say a word
It’s just a mystery I heard
Maybe I’ll miss it on some lonely day
And maybe think about what I might say

I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down

I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down
