Burnin' Sky Lyrics

Artist: Bad Company

The sky is burnin' I believe my soul's on fire,
You are, I'm learning, the key to my desire.

Waiting for the van to arrive,
The prisoners were lined up outside.
Jumped a wall, hitched a ride,
and now I'm here to say;
Love you, baby, anyway, oh, yeah.

The sky is burnin' I believe my soul is on fire,
You are, I'm learning, the key to my desire.

Ran across the country fields, in all terrain,
they had guns and dogs and everything.
Swam a river try'n to lose my trail,
But they caught me, under the bridge. Oh yeah!

The sky is burnin' I believe my soul's on fire,
You are, I'm learning, the key to my desire.

Oh, yeah.

The sky is burnin' I believe my soul's on fire,
You are, I am learning, the key to my desire.

The judge said, 'this man's a danger to humanity,
We're gonna lock him up and throw away the key'
Now, baby, your love has sent me to jail
But I'd rather die than see you with another man

It's burnin' baby, mm, mm; I believe my souls on fire

I believe my souls on fire,
Working on the railroad, every day
But they can't keep me here
And I'm not gonna stay
I got to get outta this place
I'll see you, baby.

It's burnin', yeah, it's burnin'.
I believe my souls on fire,
Keep on burnin',
Ah, yeah, yeah, ah, oh, oho. Keep on burnin'

Best Rock Band,songs and front man in the bussiness. Paul Rogers looks like he spent some time in the Gym before Wimble stud!!

In the 70's there was a word men used to define a certain walk that a man did whenever everything was going his way and he could do no wrong. That word was "strut," and if there was a musical equivalent to that word, it would be this song.
Strut on, man. Strut on.

There is but one word to sum up Paul Rodgers voice and that is SUBLIME .This particular track is tremendous, has he ever made a bad recording I think not!! A true superstar in every sense of the word.

This is definitely one of the greatest songs of all time. I remember when it first came out. Unlike anything else with the haunting guitar sounding like it was coming out of the sky. And of course THE voice.

I love this song. It's such a badass song to play cruising in a car. I always speed up when the guitar solo starts!
