High Stakes & Dangerous Men Lyrics - 1996

[ Buy High Stakes & Dangerous Men ]

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
