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
* 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
** I jumped in to the burnin' fire Led by lust and my desire I jumped in to the burnin' fire Led by lust 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
* Repeat ** 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
** Repeat ** 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
