Slow Burnin

Y'all know me I keep it steady and low
Life moves slow where the pine trees grow
Whiskey in my veins moonshine in the jar
This fire's burnin slow but it's gonna leave a scar

It's a slow burnin life in the hills
Workin real hard just to pay them bills
But don't push me boy I'll let you learn
This here fire's slow but it's gonna burn

Wake up at dawn hear the rooster crow
Pour a little black coffee then I'm ready to go
Sweat on my brow mud on my boots
Ain't no suits out here just trucks and roots
Got a stash in the barn and a fire out back
Moonshine's flowin keep the feds off my track
Ain't no rushin when you're livin this way
We burn it real slow make it last all day

It's a slow burnin life in the hills
Workin real hard just to pay them bills
But don't push me, boy I'll let you learn
This here fire's slow but it's gonna burn

I'm a bonfire smoker with a blue flame soul
Got dirt roads in my blood let the good times roll
I got a girl on my arm she's sweet like tea
But she's wild like the woods when she's ridin with me
Pickup truck rattlin down the gravel road
Got the radio loud it's my hillbilly code
Don't mess with my kin or the work I've done
This fire's slow burnin but it don't run

You think it's quiet but there's heat in the night
Underneath the stars and the southern moonlight
Ain't no need to hurry we'll take our turn
Out here in the country we let it burn

It's a slow burnin life in the hills
Workin' real hard just to pay them bills
But don't push me, boy I'll let you learn,
This here fire's slow but it's gonna burn
Yeah, it's slow burnin flames in the dark
Country boy pride with a shotgun spark
Keep your fast life I'll take my turn
This fire's slow burnin but it's strong as it burns

You can call it lazy but I call it free
This slow burnin' fire it's a part of me
Out here in the hills where the pine trees turn
We live slow burnin'... but we burn
