Burn It Up
from Your Ad Here by Brandon Whyde & the Devil's Keep
lyrics
When I was young the devil used to bounce me on his knee
whisper in my ear he got a special job for me
I got to burn it up
mama your moving much too slow
burn it up
if you don't know I'm gonna let you know
burn it up
so why are you trying to break my heart
ten years old still soft in the bones and dancing to the radio
I got weak in the knees, said lord please, you're gonna have to let me go
all your crying won't do no good
the water can't put me out
I'm a live wire, forest fire
this ain't nothing but a trickle from a water spout
the doctor knew and the preacher too
that the boy just can't be saved
nothing anyone can do
just gonna have to let him misbehave
whisper in my ear he got a special job for me
I got to burn it up
mama your moving much too slow
burn it up
if you don't know I'm gonna let you know
burn it up
so why are you trying to break my heart
ten years old still soft in the bones and dancing to the radio
I got weak in the knees, said lord please, you're gonna have to let me go
all your crying won't do no good
the water can't put me out
I'm a live wire, forest fire
this ain't nothing but a trickle from a water spout
the doctor knew and the preacher too
that the boy just can't be saved
nothing anyone can do
just gonna have to let him misbehave

I was born underground. Raised straight from the dirt. When my mother held me in her arms I got mud all over her shirt. My father sang better than Elvis. I am an organizational noise-maker.
