Burning Set out from Saint Joe on no ordinary journey, Headed down to New Orleans, working in the skin game. But when I saw you, down by the muddy river, I had to have you, so I became your prisoner. It s been and long time and things have gotten crazy, I never thought that it could turn out this way. I ve got the notion, I d swim the ocean for your love, It s not devotion, it s just this burning in my heart. Chorus: I m burning, burning, burning with desire, Burning, captive of your fire. It won t be easy telling all the folks at home, They won t believe me and they won t like it at all. I never thought that I could turn my back on them. It s just this burning, it s just this burning from within. Chorus
