[Verse 1]
Old stump chair
Boots in the dirt
Cold beer sweating
On my flannel shirt
Crickets in the hedgerow
Moon hangs low
I don’t say much
But I let it go
[Chorus]
I’m just sittin’ by the burning fire
Letting all my old ghosts tire
Every crack and pop
Another lesson learned
Leaned back quiet in the midnight turn
Heart still heavy
But I don’t say a word
I just breathe real slow
Watching it burn
[Verse 2]
That busted photograph
Curled at the sides
All those promises
We never tried
Toss it in the flames
Watch the colors run
Ash in the updraft
Story done
[Chorus]
I’m just sittin’ by the burning fire
Letting all my old ghosts tire
Every crack and pop
Another lesson learned
Leaned back quiet in the midnight turn
Heart still heavy
But I don’t say a word
I just breathe real slow
Watching it burn
[Bridge]
Smoke in my jacket
Heat on my face
Time finally moving
At a mercy pace (oh yeah)
If you saw me now
You’d think I never hurt
But I’m stitching back my soul
Watching it burn
[Chorus]
I’m just sittin’ by the burning fire
Letting all my old ghosts tire
Every crack and pop
Another lesson learned
Leaned back quiet in the midnight turn
Heart still heavy
But I don’t say a word
I just breathe real slow
Watching it burn
