Last night I had me a nightmare
G             G/f#             Em7
Dreamed that Texas was burning down...burning down

Leaving town

Bring back Townes Van Zandt, and my heroes back to me

It ain't they way they do."

When their star, come tumbling to the ground 
        Csus9    
Wasn't a thing that all the king's horses
     D   
And all the king's men could do
G       G/f#            Em7
Me I've just got my ol' bar stool
G            G/f#       Em7      
And man it's burning me down...burning me down
G            G/f#            Em7
Just like a brush fire, that burns on through the night
            Csus9
One of these days I'm just going
       D
These days I'm going to burn on out
