Looking through the window,
could've sworn I heard it call my name
There inside that old pawn shop,
I knew my world would never be the same
Wood and wire, painted steel
But in my hands it came alive,
Paid the man, took it home and played it
'round the clock (yes I did)
Something's coming over me, time to let it roll,
It's time to burn, time to burn,
Played it 'til my fingers bled, when I picked it up,
Felt like holding dynamite,
it lit my fuse and knocked me to the ground
Flesh and blood, sweat on steel
So alive, I can't de scribe
let me show 'em what I've got
Something's coming over me, time to let it roll, let it rock,
Standing up here on the stage,
I never thought I'd end up in this place
Just hit one chord, the lights explode,
and I can see it written on each face
Rich or poor, black or white
When I play this old guitar,
it makes 'em feel just right
gonna shake the whole damn block
Something's coming over me,
time to let it roll, let it rock
It's time to burn, it's time to burn, it's time to burn,
