[Verse 1]
With sad memories tucked
on your shoulders,
With sad memories tucked
on your shoulders,
you walk away,
your life alone
[Verse 2]
Sweet comfort can't possibly
sting my back now
Sweet comfort can't possibly
sting my back now
When the bitter tears come,
I'll just pretend I don't notice
[Verse 3]
Some days you can't cry
even when you wants to
Some days you can't cry
even when you wants to
There’ll be days when you can’t
even tell anyone about your sufferin’
[Verse 4]
In the darkness where you see nothin’,
you can't see the dream you seek
In the darkness where you see nothin’,
you can't see the dream you seek
All you can do now
Is to keep walkin’

[Verse 1]
Boogie beats, boogie beats
Boy's heart beats faster
Boogie beats, boogie beats
Boy's heart beats faster
He got enough boogie beats
to melt the solid earth
[Verse 2]
Then he got to Mississippi
and got his guitar
Then he got to Mississippi

bottleneck on his finger
[Verse 3]
After a while Boy turned 18
He was shoutin’ at a juke joint
After a while Boy turned 18
He was shoutin’ at a juke joint
And was a master of the guitar
and echoed the slides

Boy felt inadequate
Too mundane for him

He thought about it all night
and made up his mind
[Verse 5]
Boy plans to return home
without tellin’ anyone

without tellin’ anyone

[Verse 2]
I hear whistlin’ along with the witherin’ of the trees
He had no parents, He’s always been a loner
To the point of burnin’ bright red
To the point of burnin’ bright red
The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red
[Verse 3]
I got sent to juvie for fraud.
And there I met a man
I hated so much I wanted to kill him
To the point of burnin’ bright red
To the point of burnin’ bright red
The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red
[Verse 4]
I went back to my mentor and prepared for that day
He was a spectacular guy, and staked his own death
To the point of burnin’ bright red
To the point of burnin’ bright red
The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red
[Verse 5]
When I killed my friend, I had blues behind me
Lyin’ there, his face looked so beautiful
To the point of burnin’ bright red

The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red
[Verse 6]
I left my benefactor and continued to wander
I saw an old friend of mine in my wanderin’
To the point of burnin’ bright red
To the point of burnin’ bright red
The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red
[Verse 7]
After a while I made up my mind and came back
I was almost crushed, but I kept fightin’ for him
To the point of burnin’ bright red
To the point of burnin’ bright red
The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red
[Verse 8]
It's been a long and bluesy road to this point
He was a good friend and his blues seeped into my soul
To the point of burnin’ bright red
To the point of burnin’ bright red
The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red
[Verse 9]
I did it, I did it, I did it, yes burnet out
Not a single ashes were left behind, and they burned up white
To the point of burnin’ bright red
To the point of burnin’ bright red
The more it turns bright red, less burnin’ debris remains
To the point of burnin’ bright red

snow fallin’ from the sky
Every time it falls on
my body I freeze
It's gonna snow as the night wears on
Pitch-white snow falls

Pitch-white snow falls
It's gonna snow as the night wears on
