Theo Lawrence Prairie Fire
I'm going to the valley
I'm going to set the prairie on fire
I'm going to crack a match and I'll be satisfied
There's a little old house standing in the middle of there
An old friend of mine and a girl so pretty and fair
And as the heat will rise into the night
It'll warm my heart and dry the tears I cried
Shining, shining, shining and running wild
Burn, burn, burn
Prairie fire
I'm going where the grass is green and the skies are blue
Where the water is good and clean as morning dew
A long time ago that prairie used to be my home
Today I'm going back with a bottle of acetone
Smoke is going to blow and cover up the hillside
And I'm going to sing a lonesome lullaby
Shining, shining, shining and running wild
Burn, burn, burn
Prairie fire
I'm picking up a match and saying my last goodbye
Standing there to watch the prairie fire
