[Verse 1]
As I ride on these rails
That's my life
Laying rail as I ride
Through this unenchanted wildwood
There be dogs
There be dust in my eyes
[Chorus]
And oh, God knows I can drive
But I don't make the rules
I'm still burning bridges for fuel
[Verse 2]
From the ashes of those fires
There'll be heat
There'll be work to be done
There'll be new stars illuminating
My laying rails
For my daughters and sons
[Chorus]
And oh, God knows I can drive
But I don't make the rules
I'm still burning bridges for fuel
[Bridge]
You've got to lose to need it
You've got to hurt to feel it
Let it go like a balloon
You've got to face the morning
You've got to heed the warning
Better get yourself to school
Or it's over
[Verse 3]
So I ride on these rails
That's my life
And I'm doing it slow
Cause to move into a cabin
With a gun
Is not the right thing to do
[Chorus]
And oh, God knows I can drive
But I don't make the rules
I'm still burning bridges for fuel
[Outro]
For fuel
For fuel
