The sky is burnin'
I believe my soul's on fire
You are, I'm learning the key to my desire

Waiting for the van to a ride
The prisoners werw lined up outside
Jumped a wall, hitched a ride and now I'm here to stay
Love you baby anyway

The sky is burnin'
I believe my soul's on fire
You are, I'm learning the key to my desire

Run across the country fields in all the rain
They had guns and dogs and everything
Swama river tryin' to lose my trail
But they caught me under the bridge oh yeah

The sky is burnin'
I believe my soul's on fire
You are, I'm learning the key to my desire, oh yeah

The judge said this man's a danger to humanity
We're gonna lock him up and throw away the key
Now baby, your love has sent me to jail
But I'd rather die than see you with another man
Yeah it's burnin' babe
I believe my soul's on fire

Working on the railroad every day
But they can't keep me here
And I'm not gonna stay
I got to get outta this place
Out to see you baby
Yeah it's burnin' babe
Oh, burnin'
I believe my soul's on fire
Oh, burnin'
Ah, yeah, ah oh...
