Lyric

When I take a drink of bourbon 
it hits me way down deep 
like my brand new bed, it hurt me 
in the place where she would sleep 
though the times we had were troubled 
and you'd think that I would learn 
it was all about the burn 

So I set myself to workin' 
so I wouldn't be alone 
my broken heart was hurtin' 
and that helped to set the tone 
music is my mistress 
she can be tough and taciturn 
and she’s all about the burn 

For so many months I suffered 
then you kissed me on the lawn 
now I wish in vain 
that I could be what you want 
my heart is heating up 
as those familiar flames return 
now it's all about the burn
