Trial By Fire

Gonna move out on the highway, make this moment last

'Till it closes with the future, blending with the past

Rollin' on and doin' fine, what do you think I see

That bony hand comes a beckonin', saying buddy come and go with me



That 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 burn

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 shelf

Lookin' at me with your eyes so 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



You 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



Rollin' on, won't be long

I won't leave here till I sing this song
