lyrics

Wildfire and the Wind
In the city from a pretty small town

When she goes home everybody comes around

They say hey girl you here to settle down

Keep the dust on a dirt road from blowing around

Grass is overgrown there’s a rusted weather vane

Backyard of the barn’s got bottles filled with rain

It’s an overflow of emotion that takes her back again

Living by the tracks she never heard the train

Never heard it’s rumble, never heard its roar
Never heard it’s whistling just the boys next door
She was outta control and he fit right in
Like a wildfire and the wind

She met a boy a city boy from uptown

When she goes home he’s always putting her down

It was a wild love when first it was found

Now it’s lost love lowered into the ground

Digging deep and leaving the dirt behind

Dam the creek and raise the water line

It’s an overflow of emotion that takes her back in time

Living by the tracks where their names are underlined

Never heard it’s rumble never heard its roar
Never heard it’s whistling just the boys next door
She was outta control and he fit right in
Like a wildfire and the wind
Like a wildfire and the wind

Wildfire can you keep on burning without your wind

Wildfire burning higher and higher here it comes again

Never heard it’s rumble never heard its roar
Never heard it’s whistling just the boys next door
She was outta control and he fit right in
Like a wildfire and the wind
Like a wildfire and the wind
Like a wildfire and the wind
Like a wildfire and the wind
