Bruce Springsteen Just Like Fire Would Lyrics

One night in a motel room
Eyes cast like steel
I drank the wine that they left on my table
I knew the morning was too far

I smoked my last cigarette
Still only to defy
The night was dark and the land is cold
It's frozen right to the bone

Just like fire would
I burn up
Just like fire would
And just like fire would
I burned up

500 miles I have gone today
Tomorrow it's 500 more
Outside my window the world passes by
It's stranger than a dream

And just like fire would
I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would
I burned up

I go to work and I earn my pay, Lord
And the sweat, it falls to the ground
I see you now but we may never meet again, child
The ice is hanging on the door

One night in a motel room
Eyes cast like steel
I drank the wine that they left on my table
I knew the morning was too far

Just like fire would
I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would
I burned up

Just like fire would
I burn up
Just like fire would
Just like fire would
I burned up
