Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Closing In on the Fire

In the heat of the night we were feeling right

Closing in on the fire

Nowhere left to hide we were burnin' inside

Closing in on the fire

We were movin' to the left, movin' to the right

Move move all night long

We were reachin' up, reachin' in

Closing in on the fire

Oh I'll never forget we were into the sweat

Just kept climbin' higher

Had the right stuff couldn't get enough

Closing in on the fire

We were reachin' up, reachin' down

Closing in on the fire

We were burnin' it up, burnin' it down

Closing in on the fire

Couldn't let it go, it was out of control

In way over our head

You must sacrifice, you must pay the price

When you're in way over your head

We were shakin' it up, shakin' it down

Shake shake all night long

It was raw to the up, raw to the down

Raw raw to the bone, yeah
