Fire And Gasoline

Saw a glimpse of myself

Out a Greyhound window

Headin' for the mountains just north of Seattle

I think I'll grow out my beard

Then I'll finally get sober

Had to get away, it's crazy how a heartbreak travels

And my clothes just smell like smoke

We been through hell, I know

But the glow ain't worth the burn that lovin' leaves

When fire meets gasoline

Lights you up quick, but you can't control the heat

When that fire meets gasoline

Yeah, sure it burns bright, but damn, you lose everything

Yeah, we only ever end up ashes on the breeze

When fire meets gasoline

Now I'm off some place, where no one knows you

Where St. Helen, she ain't blown, not for forty years

Yeah, the embers cool

And the dust might settle

And the flame's burnt out, but the coast is far from clear

'Cause my clothes just smell like smoke

The bourbon stings my throat

But a shot won't cool the burn that loving leaves

When fire meets gasoline

Lights you up quick, but you can't control the heat

When that fire meets gasoline

Yeah, it sure burns bright, but damn, you lose everything

Yeah, we only ever end up ashes on the breeze

When fire meets gasoline

When fire meets gasoline

Yeah, my clothes just smell like smoke

We been through hell, I know

But the glow ain't worth the burn, it's plain to see

When fire meets gasoline
