Bruce Hornsby And The Range The Red Plains Lyrics

The Red Plains Lyrics

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

 We're

 

 CHORUS

 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 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 get left behind

 Fire, smoke-filled rooms

 I hope I'll be standing when the day is through

 

 CHORUS
