Wildfires

Wildfires are burnin' in this town There's no hope for the future And no easy way out They had time on their side Now their time has all run dry (?) has long since been gone Did you think about the people When you moved your money on? We used to ride on our bikes Now there's no money left to buy new tires They had time on their side All the while you were sellin' them out For less than a fair price They packed up their horses, ready to ride Flicked a match to light the wildfires Kids are smokin' dope at twelve years old And the agriculture bankers cannot keep this town afloat I've seen boards on the windows on the main street Now the boredom in the kids' eyes has amazed me Embers burn and not just localized Throwin' smoke across the land And breakin' all the country lines I've seen spot fires in my backyard Ain't no campfire troubadours extinguishing the sparks They had time on their side All the while you were sellin' them out For less than a fair price They packed up their horses, ready to ride Flicked a match to light the wildfires They had time on their side All the while you were sellin' them out For less than a fair price They packed up their horses, ready to ride Flicked a match to light the wildfires Flicked a match to light the wildfires Flicked a match to light the wildfires
