Desire
There's something burning deep inside
I can see it in his eyes
First saw the flicker
When he was three years old
The preacher said he'd grow up tall
And be the bravest of us all
He'd fight the devil
And his own desires
Oh and mama's on her knees tonight
She says hold that ground beneath him tight
You bring those boys home alright
And call her in the morning
Out on the darkest road I know
He's out there looking for the glow
Of the fire
He can feel it in his soul
He'll lead them through a wall of flames
No doubt, no questioning, no pain
He'll fight the blaze
Till the cold air chills his bones
Oh the devil he's in rare form tonight
But he's going down, he's going down
You bring those boys home alright
And call mama in the morning
He grew up tall he grew up strong
He's seen the worst kinds of wrong
But he'll chase the devil
Straight into the fire
Oh and mama's on her knees tonight
She says hold that ground beneath him tight
You bring those boys home alright
And call her in the morning
I can see it in his eyes
First saw the flicker
When he was three years old
The preacher said he'd grow up tall
And be the bravest of us all
He'd fight the devil
And his own desires
Oh and mama's on her knees tonight
She says hold that ground beneath him tight
You bring those boys home alright
And call her in the morning
Out on the darkest road I know
He's out there looking for the glow
Of the fire
He can feel it in his soul
He'll lead them through a wall of flames
No doubt, no questioning, no pain
He'll fight the blaze
Till the cold air chills his bones
Oh the devil he's in rare form tonight
But he's going down, he's going down
You bring those boys home alright
And call mama in the morning
He grew up tall he grew up strong
He's seen the worst kinds of wrong
But he'll chase the devil
Straight into the fire
Oh and mama's on her knees tonight
She says hold that ground beneath him tight
You bring those boys home alright
And call her in the morning
