America’s Greatest Burnout Lyrics by Anna Graves
I used to be an angel
‘Til I sold my goddamn soul
I was promised a life of fame and fortune
And they showed me a path to gold
Now it’s been six years of wasted tears
And all I’ve got are broken mirrors and smoke
There ain’t a sight of a star in the sky that’s leadin’ me to the way back home
I’m prayin’ for a wild wind
Now I’ve been drivin’ on empty
I probably shoulda stopped twenty miles ago
But mama didn’t raise no quitter baby
I’m a see ya ‘fore I get down this road
Praying for a wild wind
Pushin’ me along
I’m praying for a wild wind
Pushin’ me along
Don’t know where I’m goin’ baby
Think everything is just starting to look the same
Don’t know where I’m goin’ baby
But I always find a way
Every star at the end of the day has gotta explode somehow
It’s so fun to be anything baby
You’ll be America’s greatest burnout
I’ve been riding in the dark so long that baby I can see it all now
Mmm
This little bird that I used to know
Is tellin’ me that it’ll all work out
It’s gotta wild wind
Pushin’ me along
It’s gotta wild wind
Pushin’ me along
So by the mornin’ I’ll be gone
Don’t know where I’m goin’ baby
Think everything is just starting to look the same (yeah)
Don’t know where I’m goin’ baby
Oh, but I always find a way (yeah)
I always find a way
Don’t know where I’m goin’ baby
Think everything is just starting to look the same
Don’t know where I’m goin’ baby
But I always find a way
