Waiting at the station, I’m waiting on a train
And the trees look so lonely out in the rain
Once I had a dream, girl, I had it just for you
Now my heart is blue and girl, you know that it’s true
I’m on the fire, fire, firing line
Fire, fire, firing line
You’re next in line
On the fire, fire, firing line
I no longer worry, I no longer care
So go on, run your pretty fingers thru his hair
I don’t want no pity, don’t gimme none at all
Since you made me fall, well, I’m laying down the law
I’m on the fire, fire, firing line
Fire, fire, firing line
You’re next in line
On the fire, fire, firing line
You know my baby’s heart is never gonna burn
It runs colder than the river of no return Somewhere in the night
Where the shadows fall
With a silver spade, I’ll be digging my baby’s grave
I’m on the fire, fire, firing line
Fire, fire, firing line
You’re next in line
On the fire, fire, firing line
