Trial By Fire Lyrics
Gonna move out on the highway, make this moment last
Till it closes with the future, even out the past
Rollin' on and doin' fine, now what do you think I see?
That boney hand comes a beckonin', buddy come and go with meThat engine just ain't strong enough
To get you 'round the turn
Lie on your back in the middle of a field
And watch your body burnHey, don't try to tell me just who I am
When you don't know yourself
Spend half your time running out on the street
With your mind home on the shelfLookin' at me with your eyes full of fire
Like you'd rather be seein' me dead
Lying on the floor with a hole in my face
And a ten gauge shotgun at my headYou can leave me here, but I won't tell
Things I know about you and know so well
The way you smile at me, try to set me free
And keep me wondering what the future will beRollin' on won't be long
I won't leave here till I sing this songAnd don't try to tell me just who I am
When you don't know yourself
Spend half your time running out on the street
With your mind home on the shelfLookin' at me with your eyes full of fire
Like you'd rather be seein' me dead
Lying on the floor with a hole in my face
And a ten gauge shotgun at my head
