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

It's frozen right to the bone

Just like fire would, I burn up

Just like fire would

Just like fire would, I burn up

500 miles I've gone today

Tomorrow's 500 more

Outside my window the world passes by, it's

Stranger than a dream

Just like fire would, I burn

Just like fire would

Just like fire would, I burn up

I go to work and I earn my pay, lord

My sweat it falls to the ground

I see you now but we may never meet again child

The ice is hanging on the door

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

Just like fire would, I burn up

Just like fire would

Just like fire would, I burn up

Just like fire would, I burn

Just like fire would

Just like fire would, I burn up
