The Housefire |
| I remember smelling smoke, I woke up I was choking |
| Lorrie grabbed the baby and we made it safe outside |
| She never missed a note, took a breath and cleared her throat |
| And wrapped him in a Carhart coat she found out in my ride |
| Next thing I remember, I was barefoot in December |
| When I hit the door again it really came alive |
| That was all she wrote, in a 30 second note |
| I got out with a photograph and my old auto 5 |
| Lord knows that I’ve been blessed |
| I can stand up to the test |
| I can live on so much less, this much I been learning |
| Feeling a pounding in my chest |
| I’m fearful I’ll confess |
| How am I to get my rest? |
| The house I built is burning |
| Well Lorrie called the volunteers, siren music to my ears |
| First I been glad to hear the flashing red and blue |
| Can’t repay the time they gave, there was nothing left to save |
| Shake all of their hands and wave they did all they could do |
| Lord knows that I’ve been blessed |
| I can stand up to the test |
| I can live on so much less, this much I been learning |
| Forgive my cowardice |
| I’m fearful I’ll confess |
| How am I to get my rest? |
| The house I built is burning |
| We snuck away two nights ago, rode around the logging roads |
| We been stuck in a motor home about to fall apart |
| We finally made a go, got dealt a heavy blow |
| She said I’ll bet you make it, its a long way from your heart |
| Well I know that I’ve been blessed |
| I can make more out of less |
| I can get my rest in any bed that I lay down in |
| Got nothing holding me |
| Got a couple memories |
| A picture of the three of us, and my grandfather’s Browning |
