[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I smoked my last cigarette
I stay only to defy
The night was dark, and the land was cold
Now it's frozen right to the bone

[Chorus]
Just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would, I burn up

[Verse 3]
500 miles I've gone today
Tomorrow's 500 more
Outside my window the world passes by
It's stranger than a dream

[Chorus]
Just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would, I burn up
[Verse 4]
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

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would, I burn up

Oh!
