Burning in the War

Putting miles in the rear-view mirror light years from where I want to be
an open road and the Western sky is the only thing that I can see
Broken hearts in a broken world that we all carry on our backs
an empty weight that can be heavier than anything in our bags
———————-
 I know what I want from this world and I know what it wants from me
 just don’t know if I’m convinced quite yet that they are the same thing
 So I’ll keep my head real low when the bullets flying overhead
 and I’ll keep my barrel high when it’s time for me to fire instead
 ———————-
 Oooh Ooh This world I can’t get over
Oooh Ooh every day gets ever closer to this
fire that we’ve been burning in the war
———————-
 When the day turns into the night you best believe I’ll be holding on
 be sure that the stars will remember what we all forgot by dawn
 and I’m damn sure gonna try if I’m only allowed one shot
because all is fair in love and war, and right now war is all we’ve got
 ———————-
 Oooh Ooh This world I can’t get over
Oooh Ooh every day gets ever closer to this
fire that we’ve been burning in the war
———————-
And the ancient symbols in the sky
 lead us through the darkest nights
 ———————-
 Oooh Ooh This world I can’t get over
Oooh Ooh every day gets ever closer to this
fire that we’ve been burning in the war
