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, you know it felt so real

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, let it rock, yeah



Chorus:

It's time to burn, time to burn

It's time to burn, time to burn, time to burn



Played it 'til my fingers bled, when I picked it up, I couldn't put it down

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 describe how it makes me feel

Plug it in, strap it on, let me show 'em what I've got



Something's coming over me, time to let it roll, let it rock, yeah



chorus



(Instrumental break)



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

Turn it on, crank it up, gonna shake the whole damn block

Something's coming over me, time to let it roll, let it rock



chorus



It's time to burn, it's time to burn, it's time to burn, it's time to burn
