Close to the Flame
Close to the flame!
Well I could jump in this ole' pick-up truck
Set it up just out a' town
Set it alight late at night
And watch the memories go down
I could paint the paper in the faded room
Where grandpa passed away
But where would I hang the ole' fiddle
He use to play and play
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Now you may call me an insensitive, low down, son-of-a-gun
For this livin' in the past
But I'm the first to tell you if I ain't the first
Well I sure as hell ain't last!
Yeah! You 'bin puttin' down this one horse town
Your talkin' slick but thin
Nice to know who's side yer' on in this predicament I'm in
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
We can weather any weather
Right here in paradise
Or we can gamble on a future
That leaves us cold as ice
Well I think I'll take this 'ole pick up truck
And drive it into the ground
Have a lotta' laughs with family and friends
Spinning 'round and 'round
You may call it a waste of time
Free of responsibility
But life's gotta' be about the moment sometimes
And not just the mystery
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
We can weather any weather
Right here in paradise
Or we can gamble on a future
That leaves us cold as ice
Yeah! I think I'll take this ole' pick-up truck
And plant it out in the garden
Then I can tell my kids, who can tell their kids
Who can tell their kids, Who can tell their kids
That's where your mom and I had our first heart-to-heart in
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Well I could jump in this ole' pick-up truck
Set it up just out a' town
Set it alight late at night
And watch the memories go down
I could paint the paper in the faded room
Where grandpa passed away
But where would I hang the ole' fiddle
He use to play and play
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Now you may call me an insensitive, low down, son-of-a-gun
For this livin' in the past
But I'm the first to tell you if I ain't the first
Well I sure as hell ain't last!
Yeah! You 'bin puttin' down this one horse town
Your talkin' slick but thin
Nice to know who's side yer' on in this predicament I'm in
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
We can weather any weather
Right here in paradise
Or we can gamble on a future
That leaves us cold as ice
Well I think I'll take this 'ole pick up truck

Yes! I will always remain

Then I can tell my kids, who can tell their kids
Who can tell their kids, Who can tell their kids
That's where your mom and I had our first heart-to-heart in
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
