I really wanna tell you, that everything is gonna be okay
So don’t you listen to ‘em, ‘cause people always got something to say
Just listen to you heart
Don’t you ever worry ‘cause worry’s gonna kill your dreams
Even though you’re walking in cold dark foreign places
Hang on to your dreams ‘cause dreams keep things alive
And cut away those strings you don’t need with the sword you carry down inside
And listen to your heart
‘Cause I’m alive, to gamble love I’m gonna bet my soul the day will come
And I was right, ‘cause there’s no wrong
I’m gonna bet my heart and gain the sun
By tomorrow
And someone tried to warn me that I was being followed
But every time I look behind all I see is my shadow
I’m haunted by the thoughts of what other people think
But I won’t listen to ‘em ‘cause I’m gonna do my own thing
With this life
And listen to my heart
And listen to my heart
‘Cause I’m alive, to gamble love I’m gonna bet my heart the day will come
And I was right, ‘cause there’s no wrong
I’m gonna bet my heart and gain the sun
‘Cause I’m alive, to gamble love, I’m gonna be my soul the day will come
And I was right, ‘cause there’s no wrong
I’m gonna bet my heart and gain the sun
By tomorrow
So don’t you listen to ‘em, ‘cause people always got something to say
Just listen to you heart
Don’t you ever worry ‘cause worry’s gonna kill your dreams
Even though you’re walking in cold dark foreign places
Hang on to your dreams ‘cause dreams keep things alive
And cut away those strings you don’t need with the sword you carry down inside
And listen to your heart
‘Cause I’m alive, to gamble love I’m gonna bet my soul the day will come
And I was right, ‘cause there’s no wrong
I’m gonna bet my heart and gain the sun
By tomorrow
And someone tried to warn me that I was being followed
But every time I look behind all I see is my shadow
I’m haunted by the thoughts of what other people think
But I won’t listen to ‘em ‘cause I’m gonna do my own thing

And listen to my heart
And listen to my heart
‘Cause I’m alive, to gamble love I’m gonna bet my heart the day will come
And I was right, ‘cause there’s no wrong
I’m gonna bet my heart and gain the sun
‘Cause I’m alive, to gamble love, I’m gonna be my soul the day will come
And I was right, ‘cause there’s no wrong
I’m gonna bet my heart and gain the sun
By tomorrow
The Burned
“The Burned” began as a solo project by Kurt Baumann, who had formerly been lead singer and songwriter of the band Kan’Nal. Baumann released his first album, also titled “The Burned”, on January 26, 2010. Baumann would be joined by Kevin Colomby on bass, Bruce Harvie on guitar, Joseph Pusateri on drums, and John Polstra on pedal steel for the second album, ‘Dark Red Sun’, released May 15, 2018. The Burned recorded and released their third album that same year, ‘Blood of the Land’, releasing it on September 1, 2018. For their fourth and most recent album ‘Ghosts’, they were joined by Charles Porter on the trumpet for the song “Ghost Highway”. Their music has a dark, eerie tone to it. Baumann claims to have been inspired by both rock stars such as John Lennon and David Bowie, and country stars like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.
