Like Wildfire

(album: Ride Blue Divide - 1982)

Pleasure is her business
She's the one to meet
She'll shoot the eye out of the buzzing fly
And she won't miss a beat
She likes to press wild flowers
And read Edgar Allan Poe
It doesn't do to get too close
Or else your love will start to grow

She's like fire
Like wildfire like wildfire like wildfire

You'll find her in big cities
Living on the run
She's got a smile like a crocodile
She's just having fun
She'll take a hand at poker
She's never known to lose
She plays the bottleneck guitar
You know she loves those Delta Blues

She's like fire
Like wildfire like wildfire like wildfire

And ever since I saw her first I love her
Sitting in that small cafe at dawn
I didn't have the nerve
To introduce myself just then
So I looked her way again
Sitting there with all her friends
I knew I'd never win her heart

Pleasure is her business
She's the girl to see
She'll take a flight in the middle of the night
Just for somewhere new to be
She wont discuss the future
She wont discuss the past
She's trying to find the beat before
That one that's going to last
