I'd rather be forgotten than remembered for a lie, My words come out wrong when I think I say them right, It's hard to forget when there is nothing left on my mind I'm driving down this highway for the last time I have tried to decide what is right from wrong, But I am no closer to finding my way home, This cold air can cut like a rusty table saw, I travel in the shadows all alone, Oh I'll go, I'll pack my things and go, Oh I'll go, I belong on the road, Oh I'll go, there's not very much I own, Oh I'll go, on down the road, It's hard to see when the signs too far ahead, Is it the path I want or another dead end? Let this candle burn, oh burn from end to end, I could choose to stay here but instead.. Oh I'll go, I'll pack my things and go, Oh I'll go, I belong on the road, Oh I'll go, there's not very much I own, Oh I'll go, on down the road, On down the road, On down the road, On down the road.

Sweet Caroline reached out her hand, She made me feel like I was a better man, Ah ha Ain't that something I got no other plan, I want to be your man And then she left out of my sight, There's no tomorrow without her in my life, Look in my eyes and we'll get along, Your touch feels so good when it's wrong For better or for worse when it's gone Even a king can fall, oh yeah you'll, Yeah I said you'll fall just like a pawn, Sweet Caroline did me in, I tried the water but it tasted like gin, Ah ha Ain't that something, I got no other plan, I want to be your man, I got no other plan, I want to be your man.

Let It Burn 04:00
Well I feel wasted and alone, And I can't bare a heavy load, Sweet Caroline will never know, That in her eyes I'll find my home, Like an ember, in the cold, Let the fire heat up your soul, And let it burn let it burn, Oh let it burn, Yeah let it burn let it burn, Oh let it burn, Take your fortunes away from me, And the temptation that it brings, Though I try I'll never be, Strong enough to feel the pain, So light the match that burns the coal, Let the fire heat up your soul, And let it burn let it burn, Oh let it burn, Yeah let it burn let it burn, Oh let it burn, I've been waiting such a long time baby, I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, When I've reached my final day, Where my voice has ceased to say, Lay my body down to stay, Where the dead roots will lay, And watch the ashes turn to gold, Let the fire heat up your soul, And let it burn let it burn, Oh let it burn, Yeah let it burn let it burn, Let it burn let it burn let it burn.

What ever happened to us darlin? Everything has changed, Only cold and lonely I remain, You shouldn't listen to them talk, about better things. Well I could try to please you once again. Darlin Darlin Darlin, I know that you were with him, Since you've gone my eyes have been full of rain, Baby Baby Baby, I know you should be with me, Ain't no body who can take your place, One day you and I will share my name, I walk on a dusty path, Alone again but not at last, Thinking of the ways to get you back, Each time I take another step, It's only one that I regret, My thoughts of you are all I have left, Darlin Darlin Darlin, I know that you were with him, Since you've gone my eyes have been full of rain, Baby Baby Baby, I know you should be with me, Ain't no body who can take your place, Darlin Darlin Darlin, I know that you were with him, Since you've gone my eyes have been full of rain, Baby Baby Baby, I know you should be with me, Ain't no body who can take your place, One day you and I will share my name, Oh one day you and I will share my name.
