    "It’s hard not to picture The Grateful Dead as the graven image of the J Burn experience—Burnt Blue was recorded at Bob Weir’s storied TRI Studios, after all—but it may be more accurate to describe J Burn as a folksy, San Francisco version of Lynyrd Skynyrd. In Burnt Blue, Burn has shed the psychedelic tones and instead focused his lyrics on bucolic imagery and earthly imaginings of the quotidian. He sings of trains, yesterdays and dusty trails in what could be construed as a hippie riff on the Southern experience." -MacEagon Voyce - AXS Contributor - Sep 24, 2015

(First Verse) Freight Train, oh freight train, rolling down the tracks Don’t know where you’re going or when you’re coming back None of that concerns me, I just need to go Gather my belongings and head on down that road (Chorus) You know the futures wide open and its time I move along Cause things ain’t a working and a broken heart is hard Oh freight train, oh freight train, may your course be true You know I don’t care where you’re going, I’m gonna leave it up to you (Second Verse) Pretty Penny was the girl who will always own my heart She left me at the altar, dressed to play the part I don’t know where she’s gotten to but I know she’s runnin’ free Me I’m broken hearted, for all our friends to see (Chorus) You know the futures wide open and its time I move along Cause things ain’t a working here and a broken heart is hard Oh freight train, oh freight train, roll on down the line And free me from these memories, will leave my past behind (Out) With two bits in my pocket and a satchel that holds my world A lunch, I got from a mission, the open roads my home Oh freight train, oh freight train, my your course be true I don’t care where you’re going, I’m gonna leave it all to you You know I don’t care where you’re going, gonna leave it up to you

Memory Lane 03:01
(First Verse) When I was just a little boy Catchin fish down by the brook Never seemed to question why Had no need for second looks (Second Verse) Spent the days so careless and free Wading in the water right up to my knees Eating honeysuckle to my heart’s content An pickin apples right from the tree (Chorus) An when I need to shake the blues I take a trip down memory lane to you Right to those golden day, golden day Right back to the golden days, of my youth (Third Verse) Remember the first day I met you You were sitting perched high up in a tree Your long hair shimmering in the sun A fiery red, blended in, with fall leaves (Forth Verse) We spent the whole day just running round Laughing so hard and falling to the ground Had no need to question why So happy in the moment liven life on the fly (Chorus) So when I need to shake the blues I take a trip down memory lane to you Right to those golden day, golden day Right back to the golden days, of my youth (Fifth Verse) An that day when the sun went down There was no way we were heading home We just laid in the tall grass starting at the stars Wishing and a dreaming what the future may hold (Sixth Verse) So many days been spent An now I’m old and grey But you know I visit the child Every time I wander down memory lane (Out) Right to those golden days. I’m headin’ for the golden days. Right back to the golden days of our youth. We always have the golden days. I’ll always cherish golden days. Thank god for the golden days of our youth.

(First Verse) Hey Mr. can you play me a melody Of some sweet forgotten tune That reminds me, of a time, much simpler When the band, always carried, perfect tune (Chorus) Days of heart broken hero’s Who always saw the story end up fine When I was still with you darling Girl you’ve never escaped my heart or mind (Second Verse) So Mr. walk me through a memory With that sweet, sweet tune Doesn’t matter if your old voice is raspy Cause the song always brings me to my youth (Chorus) Let’s raise a glass for forgotten hero’s Who always stood for just and noble cause Back in the day, when I was with my darling Never forgot you, as days move on (Third Verse) So tune up that old guitar An if that piano still plays on key Keep the drum beat so steady I’d sure appreciate you playin, that song for me (Chorus) When a war torn hero could raise his head up high An praise and thanks always welcomed him home When a man was judged by the seeds he had sown That’s the place, that song plays now take me home (Out) That’s the place, that sweet song plays now, take me home

(First Verse) Way back in, eighty seven We were tripping on down, that open road Not a worry between us, as we made our way together We were just cursing anyway, that wind did blow (Chorus) Back then freedom, wasn’t just a dream We were livin simple and happy, well within our means The road seemed endless. Right beneath our feet With a love in our hearts, an a song shared, by just you an me (Second Verse) But you know some times, roads head off in different ways Even when the weathers sweet, an the sun shines all them days Somehow our path divided, to accomplish our own goals We headed out, our own ways never again, to share that same road (Chorus) Back then freedom, it wasn’t just a dream We were livin simple and happy, well within our means The road seemed endless. Right beneath our feet With a love in our hearts, an a song shared, by just you an me (Third Verse) You know now almost thirty years have, rolled on bye Quick like rain drops evaporating, under sunny skies Sometimes I catch myself wondering, how it might have been If we never parted and we were, still walking hand and hand (Chorus) Back then freedom, it wasn’t just a dream We were livin simple and happy, well within our means The road seemed endless. Right beneath our feet With a love in our hearts, an a song shared, by just you an me (Out) With a love in our hearts, an a song shared, by just you an me
