There's a fire out on the mesa
And I'm an innocent man
I'm just burning holes in the sand
Burning my back roads
In a two wheeled run
Going to burn em again when I'm done
Used to burn like Atlanta
Ah we burned like the loneseome
In a young girl's eye
Where's the fire hey what's the matter
Two fires burning burning one at a time
There's a fire down on Scott Street
In the pourin rain
Down on the corner it's an eight ball game
He's burning his fingers man
And he's burning his clothes
Somebody burned him and down he's goes
Used to burn like Atlanta
Ah we burned like the loneseome
In a young girl's eye
Where's the fire hey what's the matter
Two fires burning burning one at a time
There's a fire down at this hotel burning itself out
The only thing left burning here
Is coming out of my mouth
One flame's a red babe
And one flame's blue
Somebody get a fireman
Get a fire into this room
Used to burn like Atlanta
Ah we burned like the loneseome
In a young girl's eye
Where's the fire hey what's the matter
Two fires burning burning one at a time
