I had some schooling
But they threw me away
For being in prison and refusing to pray

but still I'm greatful
For the things that I've learned
And I learned
You gotta burn
I knew a woman that was nothing but fine
her only weakness was a gallon of wine
Come Home one evening surprised what I find
But I learned
You gotta burn across the sky like a flam
You gotta burn before they give you a name
You gotta burn until the kingdom has came
And they you learn
Some velvet morning you'll wake up and you'll find
A nest of vipers crawling out of your mind
The sun don't shine with any reason or rhyme
It's time you learn
You gotta learn
