Four walls I built one winter

She came to share my name

For years we lived as lovers on the open plains

Far off the heat wave shimmers

Pipelines and the gasoline

One day it all came running like a bad dream

Fire, smoke-filled lungs

I hope I'll be standing when the day is done

Yeah, we're...

Staring out on the red plains

And we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage

A lifetime living on the red plains

Watching out as it all goes up in flames

Get up on sunday morning

Repent for friday night

Don't let 'em tell you it's gonna be a fair fight

I gave her clothes and a diamond

She loved the things that shine

But one day the gold and the silver got left behind

Fire, smoke-filled rooms

I hope I'll be standing when the day is through

Yeah, we're staring out on the red plains

And we're hiding out from the blood and the smoke

A lifetime living on the red plains

Watching out as it all blows up in flames

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na nana na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na-na

Na na na na na nana na na na na

Fire, smoke-filled rooms

I hope I'll be standing when the day is through

Yeah, we're...

Staring out on the red plains

And we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage

A lifetime living on the red plains

Watching out as it all blows up in flames
