Well she struck like lightning
Sent the blood rushing to my head
And she was so exciting
I took a walk I didn't have to be led
* and I had my highlights, I had it all
I thought that life was my crystal ball
Now there's a highway running
She drove a truck right through my life
** I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by lust and my desire
I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by lust my desire
Well I was born a preacher
Fire and brimstone I'm a baptist man
She was god's own creature
What she didn't know you wouldn't understand now
* repeat
** repeat
[instrumental]
Well she skipped across the floor
And she looked so fine
With her hair flowing back
I thought she was mine
I dreamed on in my own head
Now lord I wish I was dead
** repeat
** repeat
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win
** repeat and fade out
