Well, I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Cuttin' out a firebreak line Digging down deep to the clay and lime Cuttin' out a firebreak line Well, I'm a wildfire fighting fool From the Yellow mountain hotshot crew I can swamp and fell, I can walk through hell I'm an EMT and a torchman too When the wind's blowin hot and dry And the sparks and the cinders fly I'll make my stand with twenty good men A better band of brother's you'll never find Got their back and they got mine I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Well, I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Cuttin' out a firebreak line Digging down deep to the clay and lime I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Ed Pulaski is a friend of mine When I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line He invented this thing like an axe I swing And he never left a member of his crew behind When the fire jumped across the line Took 'em down in an abandoned mine Then he drew his gun, said he'd shoot the first one That got it in his head to try and step outside Got everybody out alive Ed Pulaski is a friend of mine And I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Cuttin' out a firebreak line Digging down deep to the clay and lime Cuttin out a firebreak line, whoo! Cuttin' out a firebreak line Cuttin' out a firebreak line Digging down deep to the clay and lime Cuttin' out a firebreak line, whoo Gotta pray that the wind'll die And it rains down from on high Oh, we'll raise a glass to the hotshots past In hotshot heaven up above the sky They're watching over me when I'm Cuttin' out a firebreak line Now I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Cuttin' out a firebreak line Digging down deep to the clay and lime I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Whoa, I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line Cuttin' out a firebreak line Digging down deep to the clay and lime I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line
