Hot Burnin' Flames

George Strait · Ocean Front Property [MCA] [1987]

(Hank Cochran - Wayne Kemp - Mack Vivkery)



She left me almost burned out

I couldn't feel a thing

A walkin' talkin' statue

Afraid to love again

She did everything to kill a flame

But a little spark got through

If she'd a got her way I'd be gone today

If it hadn't been for you.



You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames

I'm alive with love because of you

When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring

You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames.

She thought she had me down and out

But at the count of nine

A livin' lovin' angel showed up just in time

She thought that I would surely die

Sometimes I wanted to

She had no doubt the fire was out

But she didn't count on you.



You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames

I'm alive with love because of you

When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring

You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames.



You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames

I'm alive with love because of you

When you came to light the fire you knew just what to bring

You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames.



You turned cold gray ashes into hot burnin' flames...
