"Eagle Rock Fire" lyrics

"Eagle Rock Fire"

Warn all the horses
Warn all the riders
That the fire is coming down
Tell my mother
My father and sister
There ain't nothing to worry about

I want Loretta but she won't have me
She married a loser and he makes her happy

I'm gonna leave now
The things I was thinkin
Buried on a dirt road
Where my heels are sinkin
Pack all the instruments
Shoot off the rifles
Climb up on the hillside
And Wait for the nightfall
And take to the highway one more time
Wait for the right words to fall int rhymes

I want Loretta but she won't have me

She married a loser and he makes her happy

Bet him in a fist fight
I'll beat him in a knife throw
Beat him in a shot glass
Loretta's stone cold

I met a preacher man
And he felt the same
He told the boys
And the robbed the bank
They caught him in the next town
He was holdin the knife
He said we're gonna work on the chain gang
For the rest of our lives

I want Loretta but she won't have me
She married a loser and he makes her happy
I want Loretta but she won't have me
She married a loser and he makes her happy
