Watch It Burn

There's a flame burnin' blue on the side of the mountain
Where an outlaw runner lost a load of the Devil's brew
Now the truck's laid on it's side
Damn near lost his life
And he's on the run cuz' the law's gonna be there soon

Spent his life runnin' these foothills
Got 50 years on the wrong side of the law
He's a wanted man
Knows if they got the chance
They'd fill him full of daylight and mount him to the jailhouse wall

So he strikes a match, gonna watch it burn
Flame so hot it could melt cold steel
He was moving too fast, couldn't hold the turn
Another bootleg headstone buried in the Tenessee hills

Gonna spend the night hoppin' bank to bank
Across the Little River
Trying to lose the dogs so he can get back home
And he won't waste no time
He'll be back to runnin' shine
Cuz' it's the only life he's ever known
And the flame burns blue on the side of the mountain

Strike a match, gonna watch it burn
Flame so hot it'll melt cold steel
Movin' too fast, couldn't hold the turn
Another bootleg headstone buried in the Tenessee hills

Strike a match
Watch it burn
