"Trial By Fire" lyrics
"Trial By Fire"
Gonna move out on the highway
Make this moment last
'Til it closes with the future
Leaving out the past
Rollin' on and doin' fine
Now what do you think I see?
That bony hand comes a beckonin'
Saying buddy come go with me
'Cause 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 all your time running out on the street
With your mind home on a shelf
Lookin' 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
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
And keep me wondering
What the future will be
Oh rollin' on
Won't be long
I won't leave here
'Til I sing this song
Don't try to tell me just who I am
When you don't know yourself
Spend your time running out on the street
With your mind home on a shelf
Lookin' 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
