The future’s under fire The past is gaining ground A continuous cold war between My home and my hometown I was destined to die dreaming When one day, my best friend With passion and pure provocation Summoned me and said “You can’t condemn your love To linger here and die Can’t leave your dreams to chance Or to a spirit in the sky May your heart always be ardent Your conscience always clear And succumb to the city and surrender, baby I’ll be waiting here” And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I’m bad It was last call at my local And I stalled saying goodbye So the girl behind the bar came over And she took me aside She kissed me like a chorus, said “Give ‘em hell for us And last drink of the night, last night in town Baby, this one is on the house” And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I’m bad It was bedlam in my bed that night And like a silent scream My body broke out in a sweat From seeing you in dreams You called out to me I sang back to you And all I remember was it sounded, baby Like all hell breaking loose And it got me all fired up (fired up) To go far away (far away) And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up (fired up) To go far away (far away) And make some ears ring from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I’m bad
