Matches Paroles

I was only 8 years old
When he rode into town
Riding on a black horse six string
With the sun goin down

I said Mama let me play with the matches
He's like a preacher with the flames in his eyes
Mama let me play with the matches
He lights up every inch of the sky

Oh, the spirit
Oh, the fire
Blessed are the ears that can hear it
Calling me to my desire
My desire

I was only twenty-one
Driving into L.A.
Tobacco sunburst twelve string
I was gonna have it my way I'm gonna light up every inch of the sky

Oh, the spirit
Oh, the fire
Blessed are the ears that can hear it
Calling me to my desire
My desire

Now I'm rolling down the road
Pulling into your town
Riding with trouble in my hand
I'm gonna burn it all down

Oh, the spirit
Oh, the fire
And blessed are the ears that can hear it
Calling me to, oh, my desire
My desire

My desire
My desire
