Long dis tance run ner, what you (Bb)stand in’ there for?

It Get up, get out, tion get to (Bb)out of the door.

You’re play in’ cold a mu sic on the (Bb)bar room ta floor,

But drowned in your laugh ter and no (Bb)dead to the core.

There’s a drag on with match es that’s (Bb)loose on the town.

Takes a whole pail of wa ter just to (Bb)cool him down.

(C)Fi re,

fi re on the (Bb)moun tain.

(C)Fi re,

fi re on the (Bb)moun tain.

(C)Fi re,

fi re on the (Bb)moun tain.

(C)Fi re,

fi re on the (Bb)moun tain.

Al most a blaze, ner, still you (Bb)don’t feel the heat.

It takes all you got tion just a (Bb)stay on the beat.

You say in’ it’s your liv in’; has we (Bb)all got the eat.

You you’re here a lone; ter there’s you (Bb)one to com pete.

There’s If mer cy’s in bus’ ness, I (Bb)wish it for you,

to the more than just ash es when your (Bb)dreams come true.
