"Olustee" lyrics
Way back Lord in '98
I remember when the whole state, was on fire
Breathing ash, breathing ash
Falling down like burning rain, across the wire
Ya better run, better run
Just as fast you can that heat is getting closer
Hear it roar, hear it roar
All the way around Olustee like a flaming hurricane
See the deer flashing by
See the crows flying high trying to get away
Hear that pop go tree to tree
See my life now flashing by me, I got to make it to the lake
Damn the creek is high and dry
I see it burn as I go by, it's almost on me
Ocean Pond is in my sight
But them flames about to bite, I'm running out of time
I'm out of time, time, time, time
And now Lake Butler's burning
And Palestine she's burning
And Glen Saint Mary's burning
And now Olustee's burning
You better
You better run, run run, run, run!
I remember when the whole state, was on fire
Breathing ash, breathing ash
Falling down like burning rain, across the wire
Ya better run, better run
Just as fast you can that heat is getting closer
Hear it roar, hear it roar
All the way around Olustee like a flaming hurricane
See the deer flashing by
See the crows flying high trying to get away
Hear that pop go tree to tree
See my life now flashing by me, I got to make it to the lake
Damn the creek is high and dry
I see it burn as I go by, it's almost on me
Ocean Pond is in my sight
But them flames about to bite, I'm running out of time
I'm out of time, time, time, time
And now Lake Butler's burning
And Palestine she's burning
And Glen Saint Mary's burning
And now Olustee's burning
You better
You better run, run run, run, run!
