Story behind the song

This song was written and recorded in June 2021 after seeing the live version of ZZ Top's 'The Grange' performed by Vai, Satriani and Petrucci on Youtube. The guitar riff and the really low, growly vocal was perfect for this kind of song.

Lyrics

She Burned Me Down

I had a dream, it made me think twice,
About a girl who wasn't very nice 
She stole my keys and my wallet
And then the house and everything in it
She burned me down.

The day came, I didn't plan it
I just thought that enough was enough
And left the girl that wasn't very nice to me. 

She burned me down
A broken dream
We couldn't go on       
It wasn't meant to be

So, in my dream we started so right
We got so drunk that very night
Oh how we laughed and how we partied
The best of times, I'm broken hearted
She burned me down.

The day came, I didn't plan it
I just thought that enough was enough
And left the girl that wasn't very nice to me. 

She really burned me down.
She really burned me down.
She really burned me down.
She really burned me down.
 
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down 
She really burned me down.

The day came, I didn't plan it
I grabbed the hog and I rode out of town 
No looking back, no regrets, it's time to be free. 

She really burned me down.
She really burned me down.
She really burned me down.
She really burned me down.

[Lead break].
To freedom!
 
[Wakes up ...] 
What a dream!

Was it a dream?
