This is a song about a man whose lady is cheating on him. He doesn't have any proof but he knows and he wants no part of her anymore.

All of the songs we play are my favorite songs for all time and Hank's Cadillac is the perfect band for me. Tom Griffin on bass and vocals, and Dan Berens on dr
I'm a songwriter who also plays in a great country band. I'm proud of the fact that the songs we play are not the dorky top 40 songs on FM stations. I sing, play guitar, and harmonica, Tom Griffin on vocals and bass, and Dan Berens on drums and laugh tracks. We're lucky to know some real good photographers; Thanks to Dan Hogle and Randy (Damn, what's his last name).

Story behind the song
I came up with the lick first and then wrote the words and the chord progression. I was really pleased with the modulation in the chorus. It was recorded with the American Rider Band. Lief Frederick on bass, Johnny D on drums, Tom Griffin on mandolin, and myself on guitars and vocals.
Lyrics
Let it Burn Where are you going Where have you been You look like an angel But you smell like sin, smell like sin My inquisition you've been with a friend But she aint talking It looks like this is the end Let's just say we'll be friends A backfire smolders Nothing left to burn Just walk away with what you've learned Good bye darlin' don't be concerned Just walk away and let it burn I could whimper Or I could shout But worse things can happen Than being the odd man out Than being the odd man out Don't make it hard And don't make it rough A peck on the cheek Is really saying enough Let's just say we'll stay in touch
