Forest Fire

Well it's hard to leave behind a flame

One that knocked you off your two feet and took away all the seeds you reaped

It's hard to run away

To leave it all in these hills to head south and try to get your fill

It's hard

But we left a forest fire in them Appalachian mountains

One that burned too high and fast

One that water couldn't kill

It started too doggone good it could only go straight down from there

So I just up and left and ran from the hills

Well it hurts to get burnt

Especially when there's no one there to let you know that they care

It hurts to get a broken heart

To get left out on the porch to dry and to get saved for another time

It hurts

But we left a forest fire in them Appalachian mountains

One that burned too high and fast

One that water couldn't kill

It started too doggone good it could only go straight down from there

So I just up and left and ran from the hills

Well it's hard when the day is done

When all I've got is my boots and hat

a broken heart trying not to look back

It's hard to put out a flame

I guess it don't work to run

look at me now, know what I've done

It's hard

But we left a forest fire in them Appalachian mountains

One that burned too high and fast

One that water couldn't kill

It started too doggone good it could only go straight down from there

So I just up and left and ran from the hills
