about

Here's a simple, light-hearted but ultimately optimistic Texan style Blues Rock track about a biker dreaming about losing out in love but moving on to a new adventure. Stylistic influences are ZZTop - LaGrange and that classic film Easy Rider.

This version has my vocal but my hope is that a vocalist with a really good gravelly, low range would cover this track one day and bring the best out of it. Are you there Mr Gibbons? :-)

Mixed: June 2022 MM

lyrics

She Burned Me Down

I had a dream, it made me think twice,
About a girl who wasn't very nice
She stole my keys and my wallet
And then the house and everything in it
She burned me down.

The day came, I didn't plan it
I just thought that enough was enough
And left the girl that wasn't very nice to me.

She burned me down
A broken dream
We couldn't go on
It wasn't meant to be

So, in my dream we started so right
We got so drunk that very night
Oh how we laughed and how we partied
The best of times, I'm broken hearted
She burned me down.

The day came, I didn't plan it
I just thought that enough was enough
And left the girl that wasn't very nice to me.

{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
She really burned me down.

The day came, I didn't plan it
I grabbed the hog and I rode out of town
No looking back, no regrets, it's time to be free.

{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}
{She really burned me down.}

[Lead break].
To freedom!

[Wakes up ...]
What a dream!

Was it a dream?
