Lewis, Aaron - Burnt The Sawmill Down Lyrics
Dirt road, Georgia, childhood days
A sawmill way of life
Where I grew up to love a rich girl
Who could never be my wife
On a cool, Southern ground
She cut a memory into mine
But I had to leave that town
Dirt poor, backwoods, I was was raised
Now the lawman's comin' round
Mama said I raised a good boy
But he burnt the sawmill down
It's been years since I left Georgia
They say her daddy's still in a rage
Over what I done
But he shot at me for lovin' her
Thought he run me outta town
But I hid until the mornin' light
Then I burned his sawmill down
I still love that long-haired girl
There's a price tag on my head
Her daddy owns the county law
And if I go back there, I'm dead
So I just dream of Southern roses
And miss the love we found
Lord, I wish I'd never been born poor
Or burnt the sawmill down
It's been years since I left Georgia
And I left there on the run
They say her daddy's still in a rage
Over what I done
He shot at me for lovin' her
Thought he run me outta town
But I hid until the mornin' light
Then I burned his sawmill down
Dirt poor, backwoods, I was was raised
Now the lawman's comin' round
Mama said I raised a good boy
But he burnt the sawmill down
Mama said I raised a good boy
But he burnt the sawmill down

Lewis, Aaron Burnt The Sawmill Down Comments
The wiremill in Bartonville IL that me and Zircher work at just burnt down. This song really hits home.
I just listened to Keith Whitley sing this. Randy Hayes shared it. You gotta hear it. 🔥
You know what's crazy, is one of the sawmills burned down where I live the day this song come out
Amazing cover !!
I can't believe he Burt the saw mill down I get my money back soon I will hier the best lawyer n get you freed you are marring material
Love this song
wish you were coming back to Lake of the Ozarks this year....i kept your 9 o'clock safe last year
Hell yea, good cover🤘
I would save him
TOP ONE, A MUST
love Aaron's voice in this song. The kind of song you want to turn up loud on your car stereo as you're rolling down a country dirt road !
As your speeding with all the windows rolled down
The Caleb Daugherty Band did a much better version of this song. This is just as manufactured as most of Lewis' other stuff is.
Your both on meth
This is good, but you're right! I just heard Caleb's version on Sirius and ran in to look it up.
Aaron lewis with just his guitar on stage is second to none
I love this!
