Like a bat out of hell and a fire deep within ya
You came from a place I’ve never been in West Virginia
I let you burn me, I let you turn me around

Like the lick of a flame you seared the soul within me
Your warm brown eyes hid the evil and gave no pity
I let you burn me, I let you turn me around

I heard a love song but you never made a sound
I heard a love song and you were coming up as I went down

Like a blanket of ice you caught the burning embers
It was a late July but it damn well felt like near December
I let you burn me, I let you turn me around
Oh, I let you burn me, I let you turn me around

I heard a love song but you never made a sound
I heard a love song and you were coming up as I went down
(repeat)
