\"\"Is Dierks Bentley’s ‘Burning Man’ A Country Hit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dierks Bentley’s high altitude country album casts a wide net with “Burning Man,” the most gratifying song on\u00a0The Mountain<\/em>. His\u00a0Brothers Osborne\u00a0collaboration recalls the multi-faceted stylist’s early draw to rock and roots, Bakersfield and bluegrass.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"Sonically, “Burning Man”\u00a0is reminiscent of many of his Brett Beavers-produced hits from a decade ago, but with added darkness and urgency.\u00a0The nomad story\u00a0comes back to themes\u00a0that defined\u00a0Riser<\/em>\u00a0(scarred optimism as\u00a0Bentley stands against life’s familiar obstacles), an album that defines him. Those who appreciate\u00a0his grit\u00a0and loyalty will embrace this song as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"Those who just want to feel the beat without thinking about all that will also find something to\u00a0appreciate. “Burning Man” is the most accessible song on\u00a0The Mountain<\/em>, a thinking man’s album that requires a concentrated listen from start to finish.\u00a0TJ and John Osborne’s additions add texture but few surprises to a rambler that was \u2014 more than any other song on the project \u2014 made for radio.<\/p>\n

Dierks Bentley (Feat. Brothers Osborne), “Burning Man” Lyrics:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Half your life, you struggle \/ Half your life, you fly \/ Half your life, making trouble \/ Half your life, making 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.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
\nI’m a little bit steady, but \/ Still a little bit rolling stone \/ I’m a little bit heaven, but \/ Still a little bit flesh and bone \/ I’m a little found \/ Little don’t know where I am \/ I\u2019m a little bit holy water \/ But still a little bit burning man \/ Burning man.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yeah, I’ll always love 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\u00a0\/ But now I don’t stay near as long.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Still just a burn, burn, burning man \/ Just a burning man.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Maybe I’ll go to the desert \/ Find myself in the Joshua Trees \/ If we pass in the night then just hand me a light and \/ Tell me you burn just like me.<\/em><\/p>\n
