Story behind the song
I was working on a melody in my mind when the idea popped in of a guy on the wild side being confronted by a trucker/preacher figure saying, “turn or burn.” Jotted down the concept and ideas for the chorus, vv and bridge and with a little more effort got this.
Lyrics
Loose women and fast cars were all that I lived for Nothing seemed to satisfy I always wanted more My thirst for thrills and danger fin’lly ended in bad luck And I found myself trapped underneath a truck LIFT Then out of that semi jumped a man built like a tree He stuck his face in mine and said son look here at me CHORUS God sent me with a message especially for you (Yeah) He’s got a heart of love but He’s a God of judgment too His eyes are on your path and if you refuse to turn There’s just one destiny ahead and Son, you’re gonna burn Yeah, son, son, son, son, son Son you’re gonna burn You’re gonna burn V.2 He scared the dickens outta me for about a half a day Then I laughed and kept on living like there’s no hell to pay A deal gone bad and suddenly I’m in a drunken brawl I saw the door but I could barely crawl LIFT When I came to I was in an X-ray room With a nurse that looked like King Kong speaking in a voice of doom (She said) (CHORUS) BRIDGE I figured that the third time I’d end up in the ground And thought today’s a good day to turn my life around Just then I heard a message from the One Who’s Word is true And He said that I should pass it on to you (CHORUS)
