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
