Well she struck like lightning
Sent the blood rushing to my head
And she was so exciting
I took a walk I didn't have to be led
(1) And I had my highlights, I had it all
I thought that life was my crystal ball
Now there's a highway running
She drove a truck right through my life
(2) I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by l*** and my desire
I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by l*** my desire
Well I was born a preacher
Fire and brimstone I'm a Baptist man
She was God's own creature
What she didn't know you wouldn't understand now
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Well she skipped across the floor
And she looked so fine
With her hair flowing back
I thought she was mine
I dreamed on in my own head
Now lord I wish I was dead
(2) Repeat
(2) Repeat
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win
(2) Repeat and fade out
Sent the blood rushing to my head
And she was so exciting
I took a walk I didn't have to be led
(1) And I had my highlights, I had it all
I thought that life was my crystal ball
Now there's a highway running
She drove a truck right through my life
(2) I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by l*** and my desire
I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by l*** my desire
Well I was born a preacher
Fire and brimstone I'm a Baptist man
She was God's own creature
What she didn't know you wouldn't understand now
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Well she skipped across the floor
And she looked so fine
With her hair flowing back
I thought she was mine
I dreamed on in my own head

(2) Repeat
(2) Repeat
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win
