Burn Notice Theme Lyrics

(Originally aired on the USA Network from June 28, 2007, to September 12, 2013)

[Michael Westen]
My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy, until...

[Over the phone]
We got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted.

[Michael Westen]
When you're burned, you've got nothing.
No cash, no credit, no job history.
You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.

[Michael Westen]
Where am I?

[Fiona Glenanne]
Miami.

[Michael Westen]
You do whatever work comes your way.
You rely on anyone who's still talking to you.
A trigger-happy girlfriend...

[Fiona]
Shall we shoot them?

[Michael Westen]
An old friend who's informing on you to the FBI...

[Sam Axe]
You know spies. Bunch of bitchy little girls.

[Michael Westen]
Family too...

[Sam Axe]
Hey, is that your mom again?

[Michael Westen]
If you're desperate...

[Madeline Westen]
Someone needs your help, Michael.

[Michael Westen]
Bottom line: until you figure out you burned you,
You're not going anywhere.

[Madeline Westen]
Someone needs your help, Michael.

[Michael Westen]
...And a down-and-out spy you met along the way.

[Jesse Porter]
That's how we do it, people!

[Michael Westen]
Bottom line is: as long as you're burned,
You're not going anywhere.
