Joe Ely Buildin' More Fires
When I first met her she had fire in her eyes
There was more to that flame than I did realize
Her love was wild and crazy, there's not a flicker of
doubt
She's been buildin' more fires than she's been puttin'
out
The party lights were warm and bright
The wine made feelings glow
She told me that she loved me, I believed her so
The way she looked her men over I could really do
without
She's been buildin' more fires than she's been puttin'
out
Buildin' more fires?to fulfill her desires
Flames spreadin', burnin' my insides out
Buildin' more fires, higher and higher
Buildin' more fires than she's been puttin' out
Love's never certain, it takes some funny turns
At times it seems you see the smoke before you feel the
burn
I wrote farewell on matchbook covers
I heard a thing about
She's been buildin' more fires than she's been puttin'
out
Buildin' more fires, to fulfill her desires
Flames spreadin', burnin' my insides out
Buildin' more fires
Higher and higher
Buildin' more fires than she's been putting out
She's been buildin' more fires
Than she's been puttin' out
She's been buildin' more fires
Than she's been puttin' out
