Verse

There's a brush fire racing up the hill at me
Smoke and flames are all that I see
Hot wind blowing sparks all around
Trying to burn my old house down
My dog is barking and he wants to run
Can't say I blame him, this ain't no fun
Don't wanna leave, but I can't stay here
Gotta get out, that's painfully clear

Chorus:

There's a brush fire, brush fire, brush fire burning
Gotta get out, gotta get away
There's a brush fire, brush fire, brush fire burning
I don't wanna leave, but i sure can't stay.

Verse:

I'm up on the roof with a garden hose
Putting out embers before they take hold
My house ain't fancy, but it's all I got
I may not save it, but I'll give it a shot
I'm packing up my car with all it will hold
Some is new and some is old
Pictures and papers that prove who I am
My old Telecaster and my favorite amp

Chorus:

There's a brush fire, brush fire, brush fire burning
Gotta get out, gotta get away
There's a brush fire, brush fire, brush fire burning
I don't wanna leave, but i sure can't stay.

Verse:

Brush fire's coming, burning up the street
A block away, I can feel the heat
Smell's just like the devil's breath
Looks just like the face of impending death
Firestorm burning, coming up the road
No telling now which way to go
No time to think, nowhere to run
Thick black smoke blocking out the sun

Chorus:

There's a brush fire, brush fire, brush fire burning
Gotta get out, gotta get away
There's a brush fire, brush fire, brush fire burning
I don't wanna leave, but I sure can't stay.
