she's got the engine on
she's got the lights turned off
she's got the radio up
she's got the window down
she's got a picture of him
the back says "always rock it"
she's gotta find her way out
she's got her guitar and locket
and do you know just what she said?

she said:
"please don't burn out before you
know just what I'm about. I can't go home
tonight if I'm all alone"

please don't burn out
you're so bright
please don't burn out
burn out

she's got her little black book
and she fakes the right looks
to pull you right under
to pull you right under
and do you know just what she said?

she said:
"trust me you don't want to know
what I've seen. Tape my mouth shut
but it always comes back to me"

please don't burn out
you're so bright
please don't burn out
burn out

did you hear did you hear did you hear?

she said:
please, please don't, don't burn, burn out
before you know what I'm about. I can't go,
go home, tonight if I'm all alone."
