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
