Burnin' Fire

Burnin' Fire

Well she struck like lightning

Sent the blood rushing to my head

And she was so exciting

I took a walk I didn't have to be led

* And I had my highlights, I had it all

I thought that life was my crystal ball

Now there's a highway running

She drove a truck right through my life

** I jumped in to the burnin' fire

Led by lust and my desire

I jumped in to the burnin' fire

Led by lust my desire

Well I was born a preacher

Fire and brimstone I'm a Baptist man

She was God's own creature

What she didn't know you wouldn't understand now

* Repeat

** Repeat

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Well she skipped across the floor

And she looked so fine

With her hair flowing back

I thought she was mine

I dreamed on in my own head

Now lord I wish I was dead

** Repeat

** Repeat

I jumped in, I jumped in

To the burnin' fire

And you don't win

I jumped in, I jumped in

To the burnin' fire

And you don't win

** Repeat and fade out
