Fire And Smoke Lyrics

I fell in love with April

When I was barely seventeen

I thought I'd met the girl of my dreams

Daddy he did warn me

Boy don't get carried away

Better save some fight for another day

Oh but passion Lord how it burned

He knew someday I would learn

When the smoke cleared

I would dry my tears

I got lost in the fire and smoke

I got lost in the fire and smoke

I got lost in the fire and smoke

Daddy carried a pistol

Strapped right by his side

But it was in his hand on the day that he died

An ornery angry stranger

And a heart filled with hate

Turned his venom on my daddy's son that day

Two iron barrels they smoked and burned

I hid my eyes but I'd soon learn

That when the smoke cleared

I would cry my tears

He got lost in the fire and smoke

He got lost in the fire and smoke

He got lost in the fire and smoke

Love and hate stand back-to-back

A peaceful man when cornered he will attack

Trust and fear stand hand-in-hand

We are here now there is no promised land

We got lost in the fire and smoke

We got lost in the fire and smoke

We got lost in the fire and smoke

We got lost in the fire and smoke

Fire and smoke

Fire and smoke

Fire and smoke

Fire and smoke
