[Verse 1]
I gave up on being loaded
Hung my soul out to dry
Paid for my last glass of sorrow
And I hit the road and said goodbye
'Cause it's a cold and a bitter feeling
When you ain't got nothing left to lose
And you're pickin' up all your clothes off the pavement
Ragged ties and poorly strung leather shoes

[Chorus]
I'm givin' up, burnin' it down
I've had one too many drinks in this town
So if you wanna find me
Oh, if you wanna find me
I'll be movin on, packin' up my bags and gone
And getting out of Babylon

[Verse 2]
Many trials and tribulations
Floods and fires have I seen
Heard tales of angels turned to demons
Singing in choirs of broken dreams
Guess all my running and dealing
And all the love that I've left behind
Have formed a band to apprehend me
Yes, I'm told they'll be here shortly anytime
