Just Like Fire Would

One night in a motel room

Eyes cast like steel

I drank the wine that they left on my table

I knew the morning was too far

I smoked my last cigarette

I stay only to defy

The night was dark and the land was cold and

Frozen right to the bone

Just like fire would, I burn up

Just like fire would

And just like fire would, I burned up

500 miles I've gone today

Look, tomorrow's 500 more

Outside my window the world passes by

It's stranger than a dream

Just like fire would, I burn up

Just like fire would

Just like fire would, I burned up

I go to work and I earn my pay, Lord

My sweat falls to the ground

I see you now but we may never meet again, child

The ice is hangin' on the door

One night in a motel room

Eyes cast like steel

I drank the wine that they left on the table

Knew the morning was too far

Just like fire would I burn up

Just like fire would

Just like fire would I burned up

Just like fire would I burn up

Just like fire would

Just like fire would I burned up
