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



** repeat and fade out
