"TIME TO BURN" lyrics

I was talking to my old man
Telling him about my big plans
He was sitting by the fireplace
A little smile came across his face
He said, son there's some things you gotta know
Time don't wait and time you're gonna blow
If you're always in such a rush
You gotta know when you got enough

I'm telling you I've been there too
So, here's my advice

Go where no boss can reach you
Where the whisky flows all night
Learn things only wild can teach you
Bring it back to the simple life
Years fly by, they'll be gone before you know
There's a few things that you ain't gonna learn
'Til you make some time to burn
'Til you make some time to burn

Years have passed and my old man's gone
Now I'm talking to my eldest son
The apple don't fall far from the tree
Turns out the boy's just like me
Sitting by the same fireplace
Hearing 'bout what the boy's trying to chase
It's the same old story, he's tryin' for the glory
The old man's words are coming back to me

Go where no boss can reach you
Where the whisky flows all night
Learn things only wild can teach you
Bring it back to the simple life
Years fly by, they'll be gone before you know
There's a few things that you ain't gonna learn
'Til you make some time to burn

Slow it down, this ain't no race
Take your time, make mistakes
Hold your loved ones, hold 'em close
They're the things that mean the most

Go where no boss can reach you
Where the whisky flows all night
Learn things only wild can teach you
Bring it back to the simple life
Years fly by, they'll be gone before you know
There's a few things that you ain't gonna learn
'Til you make some time to burn
'Til you make some time to burn
'Til you make some time to burn
'Til you make some time to burn
