Just Like Fire Songtext / Lyric

It was on a hot day that Johnny lost his mind

He drove his pickup to his shack and soon hit the moonshine

He laughed and he cheered until the hour got late

And when the moon came up he pulled out his thirty eight



Chorus:

He danced just like fire

He fell down just like rain

But all flames must expire

While the ashes still remain



Nobody knows exactly what went wrong

The night that Johnny took a blade and cut of his tongue

And then gave to the dogs just to watch them fight

Not a word he would speak since that bleak night






Chorus:

He danced just like fire

He fell down just like rain

But all flames must expire

While the ashes still remain



Well, he sat up all night reading his bible

And the next morning 'drove a nail through his eyeball

Then he went outside and started digging a hole

Deep down in the soil, looking for his lost soul



Chorus:

He danced just like fire

He fell down just like rain

But all flames must expire

While the ashes still remain
