Lyrics
Before the Fire Goes Out
© 2020 Frederick M. Spina
When church bells ring in this village town
It reminds me of the time I said my wedding vow
Wish my memory would start to slide
Every now and again I get a tear in my eye
We got married and then she took the Ford GT
Who is he that he's better than me?
No more till death do us part
Warm whiskey burns when you drink slowly
It's gonna take awhile before the fire goes out
She liked the street race every Saturday night
The squeal of tires and then a party
In a field of headlights
I heard they met on the starting line
They could have finished before I called the airline
We got married and then she took the Ford GT
Who is he that he's better than me?
No more till death do us part
Warm whiskey burns when you drink slowly
It's gonna take a while before the fire goes out
It's gonna take a while before the fire goes out
Our small town watched as we walked down the aisle
I loved that girl and her sweet country smile
In the end she said I only want the GT and some cash
Who is he that he's better than me?
No more till death do us part
Warm whiskey burns when you drink slowly
It's gonna take a while before the fire goes out
It's gonna take a while before the fire goes out
It's gonna take a while before the fire goes out
