Del McCoury Fire And The Flame lyrics

With a throw and a roll
It could take control
And gamble us away
Following the fool

We're sliding in the groove
And I expect that's
Where we'll stay

I'm telling you, it's not a game
Play with the fire
And you'll live with the flame
Hey now, there's nothing new
I'm damned if I don't
And I'm damned if I do

There's a road that you take
And there's the one
You leave alone
There's a view of the highway
In my happy home

I said that I love you
While I said goodbye
You can part and remember
With a smile or a sigh


I'm telling you, it's not a game
Play with the fire
And you'll live with the flame
Hey now, there's nothing new
I'm damned if I don't
And I'm damned if I do

Hard to be leaving
Impossible to stay
The road that we took
Revealed the one we have to take

You kneel in the sanctuary
And pray forever more
But when you fly from the cage
Don't forget to lock the door

I'm telling you, it's not a game
Play with the fire
And you'll live with the flame
Hey now, there's nothing new
I'm damned if I don't
And I'm damned if I do
