Land on a blacktop with my head up on the clouds
A handle full of whiskey and a plan to burn it down
My mama always told me son don't you ever play with fire
But these matches in my pocket say that it's down now to the wire

So they say
Don't you play with fire boy
But these flames
Always burned inside
I got a light in my eyes and burning heart
I was born in the fire, ain't light this spark

I hold my family name in the men that came before
Now I raise my son with no fear of man
We only bow down to the Lord

Let your flame burn bright in the middle of the night
And always fight for what is yours
Don't fall for temptation
Or get carried away
Keep your feet firm on the floor

So they say
Don't you play with fire boy
But these flames
Always burned inside
I got a light in my eyes and burning heart
I was born in the fire ain't light this spark

So they say
Don't you play with fire boy
But these flames
Always burned inside
I got a light in my eyes and burning heart
I was born in the fire, ain't light this spark

So I'll say don't you play with fire boy
'Cause these flames always burned inside
I got a light in my eyes and a burning heart
I was born in the fire, so don't light this spark
I was born in the fire, ain't light this spark
I was born in the fire, so don't light this spark
