  • Half your life you struggle
    Half your life you fly
    Half your life makin' trouble
    Half your life makin' it right
    One day I'm the exception
    Most days I'm just like most
    Some days I'm headed in the right direction
    And some days I ain't even close

    I'm a little bit steady but still a little bit rollin' stone
    I'm a little bit heaven but still a little bit flesh-and-bone
    Little found, little don't-know-where-I-am
    I'm a little bit holy water but still a little bit burning man
    Burning man

    Yeah, I always loved the highway
    I just don't run it as fast
    I still go wherever the wind blows me
    But I always find my way back
    I still don't get it right sometimes
    I just don't get it as wrong
    I still go a little bit crazy sometimes
    Yeah, but now I don't stay near as long

    I'm a little bit steady but still a little bit rollin' stone
    I'm a little bit heaven but still a little bit flesh-and-bone
    Little found, little don't-know-where-I-am
    I'm a little bit holy water but still a little bit burning man
    Burning man
    Still just a burn, burn, burning man
    Just a burning man, woo

    Maybe I'll go to the desert
    Find myself in the Joshua Tree
    If we pass in the night then just hand me a light
    And tell me you burned just like me

    I'm a little bit steady but still a little bit rollin' stone
    I'm a little bit heaven but still a little bit flesh-and-bone
    Little found, little don't-know-where-I-am
    I'm a little bit holy water but still a little bit burning man
    Burning man
    Still just a burn, burn, burning man
    Just a burning man

  • Sleezy from San FranciscoHmm, the quote "you haven't slept and you've got the Joshua trees all around you and these rocks" is pretty odd considering there are no Joshua trees or rocks in the burning man festival area. there are mountains in the distance... but most refer to those as mountains.
