Wildfire

Well, it's bone dry, the land is bone dry

Everybody got their eye upon the sky

Ain't a cloud, Lord, there ain't no clouds

Ain't a drop of rain gon' quench this thirsty ground

There's a wildfire knockin' at your door

Sayin' it ain't safe to stay here no more

There's a wildfire, everybody leavin' town

But Mad Tom and his old hound dog stickin' round

Oh, the days, they're dark as night, the days are dark as night

The heavy smoke's gone and blocked out all the light

And the embers shine like stars, the embers shine like stars

You never seen stars that shine like this before

There's a wildfire comin' up the hill

Where Mad Tom said he gon' stop it with his sheer force and will

There's a wildfire, they're knockin' at your door

Sayin' it ain't safe to stay here no more

Oh, I won't leave, I won't leave

Won't let you steal my home away like a thief

Oh, I won't leave, I won't leave

Can't let you steal my home away like a thief

Now his hound dog starts to cry

His hound dog starts to cry

Till the rain clouds start to form up in the sky

Then the rain came pourin' down

The rain came pourin' down

Mad Tom and his ol' hound dog gonna save this town

Oh, I won't leave, I won't leave

Can't let you steal my home away like a thief

Oh, I won't leave, I won't leave

Won't let you steal my home away like a thief

Now he looks it in the eye

He looks it in the eye

Soon that wildfire

Soon that wildfire is gonna die

There's a wildfire, they're knockin' at your door

Sayin' it ain't safe to stay here no more

There's a wildfire, everybody leavin' town

But Mad Tom and his ol' hound dog stickin' round
