The Red Plains - Live - 1998/99

Four walls I built one winter, she came to share my name
 For years we lived as lovers on the open plains
 And far off the heat wave shimmers, pipelines and the gasoline
 One day it all came running like a bad dream
 The fire, smoke-filled lungs
 Hope I'll be standing when the day is through
 Staring out at the red plains
 And we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage
 Well, 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, 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 get left behind
 The fire, smoke-filled rooms
 Hope I'll be standing when the day is through
 We're staring out at the red plains
 And we're hiding out from the flood and the smoke
 Yeah, a lifetime living on the red plains
 And watching out as it all goes up in flames
 Fire, smoke-filled rooms
 Hope I'll be standing when the day is through
 Yeah, we're staring out at the red plains
 Yeah, we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage
 Hope we got a lifetime living on the red plains
 And watching out as it all goes up in flames
