We've driven all day and most of the night From the Galloway hills through the city lights Just fall of the road and not much was said Pulled off the gas when the needle touched red
Sitting here I watch the flames They climb higher when they take me again And sometimes I remember when The memories I can trust them
Build a fire They're gonna build a fire Gonna build a fire They're gonna build a fire
Pulled up to rest, let the engine cool a while Opened the beans, gathered wood for the fire I hum this tune to all the girls I've known Should I care about the chances I've blown?
But don't forget there's less to life Than blowing your mind in some trashed out car Don't forget you'll die the death Of a hero with nothing less
Build a fire They're gonna build a fire
They're gonna build a fire They're gonna build a fire
Build a fire They're gonna build a fire
They're gonna build a fire They're gonna build a fire
When daylight breaks we'll be down that road Rockman and me with a lighter load We'll stop for a lunch in some taco bar Lee Marvin on the jukebox – «Wanderin' Star»
But don't forget there's less to life Than blowing your mind in some trashed out car Don't forget you'll die the death Of a hero with nothing less
Build a fire They're gonna build a fire Gonna build a fire Gonna build a fire
