lyrics

TRIMMED & BURNING words & music: bill mallonee BMI 2018
Some days it seems like hell on earth and that's only the half-of it
it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight, no matter how you cut it

pull on your boots and roll up your sleeves
this is gonna take for cussed-ness

Chorus;
Who cares if anyone's looking?
who cares if everyone misses that beautiful sight
You're trimmed & burning...you're burning bright

There's a whole lotta bad news.......making the rounds
on the streets and it seems like........Love is losing ground

This is one of those cases where
You gotta get down on your knees

Who cares if anyone's looking?
Who cares if everyone misses that beautiful sight
You're trimmed & burning...you're burning bright.

I hate to end on a sober note but ther are spirits who won't survive
in a world of mean-ness & cruelty they won'y make it out alive.

So, hand the world an olive branch and hand yourself one too.

Who cares if anyone's looking?
Who cares if everyone misses that beautiful sight
You're trimmed & burning...you're burning bright. (x2)
