============================

[Bill]
driven all the day
and most of the night

from Galloway hills
to the city lights

just fall of the road
and not much respect

pulled off the gas
when the needle touched red

sitting here
i watch the flames

they climb higher
and they take me again

but sometimes
i remember when

the memories
you can't trust them

[chorus]
        buid a fire
        buid a fire

        buid a fire
        buid a fire

[Bill]
pulled up to rest
let the engine cool a while

open the beans
gather wood to the fire

I hum this tune
to all the girls I've known

should i care
about the chances i've blown

[each line first Maxine, then Bill]
    don't forget
    there's less to life
    than blowing your mind
    and to crash that car

    (and) don't forget
    we're dying today
    i'm a hero
    with nothing await (?)

[chorus:]
        build a fire
        they're gonna build a fire



        build a fire
        they're gonna build a fire

        gonna build a fire
        they're gonna build a fire

        gonna build a fire
        they're gonna build a fire

        they're gonna build a fire
        they're gonna build a fire

        build a fire - they
        they're gonna build a fire

        they're gonna build a fire
        they're gonna build a fire

[Bill]
when daylight breaks
I'll be down that road

Rockman 'an me
with a lighter load

we'll stop for a lunch
in some taco bar

Lee Marvin on the jukebox
Wanderin Star

    sitting here
