The Red Plains

Four walls I built one winter
 She came to share my name
 For years we lived as lovers on the open plains
 Far off the heat wave shimmers
 Pipelines and the gasoline
 One day it all came running like a bad dream
 Fire, smoke-filled lungs
 I hope I'll be standing when the day is done
 Yeah, we're...
 Staring out on the red plains
 And we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage
 A lifetime living on the red plains
 Watching out as it all goes up in flames
 Get up on Sunday morning
 Repent for Friday night
 Don't let 'em tell you it's gonna be a fair fight
 I gave her clothes and a diamond
 She loved the things that shine
 But one day the gold and the silver got left behind
 Fire, smoke-filled rooms
 I hope I'll be standing when the day is through
 Yeah, we're staring out on the red plains
 And we're hiding out from the blood and the smoke
 A lifetime living on the red plains
 Watching out as it all blows up in flames
 Na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na
 Na na na na na nana na na na na
 Na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na-na
 Na na na na na nana na na na na
 Fire, smoke-filled rooms
 I hope I'll be standing when the day is through
 Yeah, we're...
 Staring out on the red plains
 And we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage
 A lifetime living on the red plains
 Watching out as it all blows up in flames
