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
