A Fire That Just Won't Burn

A Fire That Just Won't Burn

Don Poythress Jimmy Ritchey Tommy Conners

Should've known

 Should've run

But it ain't that easy

When you love someone

ou'd best move on

Don't just stand there

Waiting til the table turns

It's like pouring whiskey on the fire that just won't burn

And there ain't no truth in 90 proof

But it sure feels good going down

 It may give you hope

But it's just blowing smoke

How long will it take til you learn

 You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn

There ain't no good in looking back

 It'll only break your heart

And that's enough of that

There ain't no right or reason why

To go sifting through the reasons why you hurt

You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn

  And there ain't no truth in 90 proof

 But it sure feels good going down

 It may give you hope

 But it's just blowing smoke

How long will it take til you learn

You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn

And there ain't no truth in 90 proof

But it sure feels good going down

 It may give you hope but its just blowing smoke

How long will it take til you learn

You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn

You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn
