just like fire would

bruce springsteen

one night in a motel room

eyes cast like steel

i drank the wine that they left on my table

i knew the morning was too far

i smoked my last cigarette

i stay only to defy

the night was dark and the land was cold

it's frozen right to the bone

just like fire would

i burn up

just like fire would

just like fire would

i burn up

500 miles i've gone today

tomorrow's 500 more

outside my window the world passes by

it's

stranger than a dream

just like fire would

i burn

just like fire would

just like fire would

i burn up

i go to work and i earn my pay

lord

my sweat it falls to the ground

i see you now but we may never meet again child

the ice is hanging on the door

one night in a motel room

eyes cast like steel

i drank the wine that they left on my table

i knew the morning was too far

just like fire would

i burn up

just like fire would

just like fire would

i burn up

just like fire would

i burn

just like fire would

just like fire would

i burn up
