Lyrics
D A
I don't know what I was thinking
G D
There's a fire in the hole and I been drinking
D A
I'm standing here with the fuse in my hand
G D
And when I let her go You need to understand
G D
There'll be rocks and dust flying everywhere
G D
The Walls might come down but I don't care
G D
You Won't see or hear anything
A G D
And for awhile your ears are gonna ring
D A
I work all day setting them alight
G D
But that's alright 'cause I drink all night
D A
If I ever turn up too damn sober
G D
Just gimme that fuse and I'll do it all over
G D
Fire in the hole, fire in the hole
G D
You know there's always some fire in the hole
G D
I don't know that I'll ever get old
A G D
But I know I'll always light that fire in the hole
D A
Nothing ever changes I'm surrounded by trouble
G D
If I don't light the fuse it'll be someone other
D A
If they don't manage to bring the mine down
G D
They'll prob'bly blow up the whole damn town
D A
Someone got to take responsibility
G D
So it might as well be a drunk like me
D A
If you find me there with a bottle in hand
G D
Lighting that fuse and laughing like I'm mad
D A
You can just sit back and take all the bets
G D
On how long I'll last and how far I'll get
G D
Fire in the hole, fire in the hole
G D
You know there's always some fire in the hole
G D
I don't know that I'll ever get old
A G D
But I know I'll always light that fire in the hole
D A
I work all day setting them alight
G D
But that's alright 'cause I drink all night
D A
If I ever turn up too damn sober
G D
Just gimme that fuse and I'll do it all over
G D
Fire in the hole, fire in the hole
G D
You know there's always some damn fire in the hole
G D
I don't know that I'll ever get old
A G D
But I know I'll always light that fire in the hole
G D
Fire in the hole, fire in the hole
G D
You know there's always some fire in the hole
G D
I don't know that I'll ever get old
A G D
But I know I'll always light that fire in the hole
A G D
But I know I'll always light that fire in the hole
