Nothing Left to Burn - ©2006

Verse 1
She headed home to Cincinnati
Lightning flashed along the way
The person she'd become had gotten much to old
The ocean seems so far away

There's a boy back on Long Island
With four empty dresser drawers
Rusty lighter in the pocket of her jeans
But she's got nothing left to burn
She's got nothing left to burn

Verse 2
She took a look back in the mirror
Her mind went back to better days
One by one she watched as every memory
Slowly vanished in the haze

Lonely rhythm on the windshield
Wipers beat in perfect time
Her friends all said she'd never have the strength to leave
Now she's got nothin' left to prove
She's got nothing left to prove

Verse 3
She drove all night into the morning
To make that demon disappear
The sun came up just as she pulled into the drive
Now she's got nothing left to fear
She's got nothing left to fear
