As I sit beside my window
And the rain begins to fall
There's a girl that I remember
And a love that I recall
Got a letter in my pocket
That I've read a hundred times
And Lord it's
Burnin' a hole in my mind

Got to get myself together
Got to try to understand
That she's lost
And gone forever
That she found another man
But every night I think about her
Lying by his side
Lord it's burnin' hole in my mind

Ohh it's burnin'
Keeps on burnin'
Burnin' hole in my mind

Ohh it's a-burnin'
Keeps on burnin'
Burnin' hole in my mind

As I live each moment over
Of the love we used to know
Those old sparks begin to smolder
That old flame begins to grow
And the fire keeps getting hotter
Unbidden light of time
Lord its burnin' a hole in my mind

Believe me baby
It's a-burnin' a hole in my mind

Believe me brother
It's a-burnin' a hole in my mind
