Test yourself in the forest of the night

Angel on my shoulder
shivering with the pain
hiding the dust in my pocket
total color of me is now rain

Daddy sings me a country home

In out of the firing line
Jumpers fall into the flames
beetles call this their home
saved the stars home this time

Heat burns the hair off my eyes

Harpoon lay in a boy playing
Cheryl cried soft as the Calvary comes
Earthly burned job is now a reward
dirt ranger makes sure it is done

back flash takes the trail home

Savor the moment beat nature
Hero in death wish found in a pasture
Can't cause nobody's going to the play
Still you are the lead you are the star


haggard a strength burns her alive

Got an angel guiding me
Wished upon a falling star
saw the embers climb free
touched not gotten very far

tired we rest in the burn

Day to day we are lost
two steps forward in the sweet
flames take a piece of the cost
every moment death we meet

chopper pulls me from the hell


St Christopher marks my chest
silver branding iron left heaven mark
I have lived and walked with the best
home is the place burned in my heart

pay check buys me my next ride
