Burn Down The Night Lyrics

Don't let me slip back under
My motor's running warm
I'm rollin with the thunder
I'm riding out this storm
Burn down the night
Burn down the night
If you can't make it right
Burn down the night
So patiently you guide me
Whispering in the dark
Reach way down deep inside me
Take out the broken part
Another wall comes down in flames
With every match you strike
You've got everything it takes
To burn down the night
Lead me into temptation
Out by the railroad tracks
Show me a new sensation
Don't ever send me back

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
