One night in a motel room
Eyes cast like steel
I drank the wine they had left on my table
I knew the morning was too far
I smoke my last cigarette
Stay only to defy
The night was dark and the land was cold
It's frozen right to the bone
And just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would, I burn up
Five hundred miles I have gone today
Tomorrow it's five hundred more
Outside my window the world passes by
It's stranger than a dream
Just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would, I burn up
I go to work and I earn my pay load
My sweat, it falls to the ground
I see you now but we may never meet again, child
The ice is hanging on the door
One night in a motel room
Eyes cast like steel
I drank the wine they had left on my table
I knew the morning was too far
Just like fire would, I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would, I burn up
