Come back in the winter

Won't steal away too long

And when I'm back I'll set it all ablaze

Got Jesus in my pocket

And matches in my coat

I won't have to work alone this time

From the trees upon the hill top

I'll watch the old house close

You can guard your back but my patience will be endless

And all your stiff-jaw quiet, won't conceal what you have done

You warned us all to sell or pay the price

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn

Not only you can burn

The newspaper and TV fools came trudging 'cross our fields

Said the shots that killed my brother came from his own hand

But that don't explain the tire tracks that came down from your house

To make it look like suicide had always been your plan

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn

Not only you can burn

I wanna burn this signal fire, I wanna burn this firetrap

Not only you can burn

And it belongs to me now

Right or wrong

I'll come back in the winter

On a trail of no remorse

And my footprints will get covered by the frozen snow

And no one in your family, will talk of me again

Flames will die, and silence will return

Now I wanna burn, I wanna burn

Not only you can burn

I wanna burn this signal fire, I wanna burn this firetrap

Not only you can burn

And it belongs to me now

Right or wrong

And it belongs to me now

Right or wrong
