Lyrics Gene Watson

Gene Watson

Back In The Fire

My mind knows fully well I shouldn't be here

But my heart, my foolish heart, will not learn

She fills me with a crazy wild desire

Lying helpless, I know just how I'll burn

Back in the fire, where my heart must long to be

If it wasn't so, then, why oh, why does it keep draggin' me

Back in the fire, to the flames of ecstasy

I guess, I'll always love the way she burns in me

At times, I've gone as far as believing

This tortured soul of mine was finally free

Then that long silent leftover feeling

Says, I'm a pretender, and I'll surrender willingly

Back in the fire, where my heart must long to be

If it wasn't so, then, why, oh why, does it keep draggin' me

Back in the fire to the flames of ecstasy

I guess, I'll always love the way she burns in me

I guess, I'll always love the way she burns in me
