Robbie Fulks - We'll Burn Together lyrics

My friends all said I'd pay, my wife begged me to stay But I couldn't tear my self away from you So we bear our cross in shame; maybe we'll go down in flames, But we'll burn together, if we do. For the sweet forbidden wine our lips were yearning So we left behind the happy homes we knew Just to sell our wretched souls for a king-size bed of coals, And we'll burn together, me and you. Now, behind us, through the haze, we can see the trail we've blazed Like scattered ruins our children sadly lie But if we left the fires of home for a match that won't last long Then we'll burn together 'til we die. No earthly power could keep my lips from yours, dear No one alive could pry my heart from you Let the chips fall where they will, let the wicked burn in Hell, And we'll burn together if they do. Yes, we'll burn together, me and you.
