Long Way to the Fireline

[Intro]

[low drone

Distant fiddle]

Dust on my boots

Smoke in my teeth

I been chasing that spark

From the holler to the heat

[Verse 1]

Rolled in late

With the dawn in my hands

Little town bar

Turned to wild open land

You said “boy

You gon’ burn out in time”

I just laughed

“We all walk that line”

[Chorus]

Take the long way

To the fireline

Hands up high

Let the stars decide

We got one night

Let it roar

Let it rise

Sing hey

Hey

On the long way to the fireline (hey!)

Windows down

Let the night crawl in

Heartbeat loud

Like it’s keeping the time

Every mile

Is a match to the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you scared?

Or are you alive?

Old Ford hums

Like a half-broke hymn

Windows down

Let the night crawl in

Heartbeat loud

Like it’s keeping the time

Every mile

Is a match to the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you scared?

Or are you alive?

Can you feel

Every crack in the drive?

[Chorus]

Take the long way

To the fireline

Hands up high

Let the stars decide

We got one night

Let it roar

Let it rise

Sing hey

Hey

On the long way to the fireline (ohhh)

[Drop]

[drums cut

Claps and stomp]

Fireline

Fireline

Long way

Long way

Fireline

Fireline

Fireline

Long way

Long way

Fireline (hey!)

[Chorus]

Take the long way

To the fireline

Hands up high

Let the stars decide

We got one night

Let it roar

Let it rise

Sing hey

Hey

On the long way to the fireline

[Outro]

[gang vocal chant

Loop ready]

Fireline

Fireline

Long way

Long way

Fireline
