Don Johnson Big Band Dirt
I set myself on fire tonight Kissed the flames and said goodbye A red light fell, it was finally time And all I've had I've sacrificed No silver or gold Just a kingdom of old I now despise No will set in stone Just film that I've blown And my frowning eyes
Chorus: A quiet flash Then we all hit the dirt If I had asked Could you have killed me, dear When I have passed Will the world still be here Or will it disappear?
I've bled my share in iron and wine Kissed and prayed and said goodbye But when I fell down blind and deprived No one held my head but I This chill to the bone Has a will of its own I try disguise And this hill that is home Is now filled with alone With my pride inside
Chorus (2x)
So many words can break men down in regret But none that I've spoken My silhouette still stands as proud and tall growing old If anyone John Ross will not forget All the bonds he has broken They may have been friends or they may have been foes So it goes
