America's Greatest Burnout Songtext
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
Mm, 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 driving on empty
I probably shoulda stopped 20 miles ago
But mama didn't raise no quitter, baby
I′ma see ya 'fore I get down this road

Praying for a wild wind
Pushing me along
I′m praying for a wild wind
Pushing 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, mm
This little bird that I used to know is telling me that it'll all work out

It's got a wild wind
Pushing me along
It′s got a wild wind
Pushing me along
So by the morning 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
