Forest Fire

Well it's hard to leave behind a flame One that knocked you off your two feet and took away all the seeds you reaped It's hard to run away To leave it all in these hills to head south and try to get your fill It's hard But we left a forest fire in them Appalachian mountains One that burned too high and fast One that water couldn't kill It started too doggone good it could only go straight down from there So I just up and left and ran from the hills Well it hurts to get burnt Especially when there's no one there to let you know that they care It hurts to get a broken heart To get left out on the porch to dry and to get saved for another time It hurts But we left a forest fire in them Appalachian mountains One that burned too high and fast One that water couldn't kill It started too doggone good it could only go straight down from there So I just up and left and ran from the hills Well it's hard when the day is done When all I've got is my boots and hat a broken heart trying not to look back It's hard to put out a flame I guess it don't work to run look at me now, know what I've done It's hard But we left a forest fire in them Appalachian mountains One that burned too high and fast One that water couldn't kill It started too doggone good it could only go straight down from there So I just up and left and ran from the hills
