When the wind picked up the fire spread
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
And the northern sky looked like the end of days...the end of days
The wake up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us it's only a matter of time before we all burn
Before we all burn...
We bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill…on a hill
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
There I knew it would be alright...that everything would be alright
Would be alright...
And the news reports on the radio said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames
But I couldn't think of anywhere I would’ve rather been
To watch it all burn away...to burn away
And the firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers for rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time...

"The funny thing about that little white speck on the top of chicken shit...That little white speck is chicken shit too." (Ernest Tucker in Pure Country) You're God damned right, Ernest!
“Not everyone is afforded the luxury of lies. Some are burdened with the truth yet still believe. They do sometimes wonder, however, if others would be capable of the same resolve if their shroud of blissful ignorance was ever lifted and they were faced with reality. Could they bear that weight? Would the truth change THEIR reality? That question is often left unanswered until it’s too late...” (RLS 2007)
"Life is like a box of chocolates. If you stick your finger in enough of them, you'll eventually find one you want to eat. Or something like that..." (RLS 2006)
