Walkin' From The Fire (from "An American Treasure" compilation)

They come out here with the dog on a chain
And they took my little brother away
Tell my mama he was selling cocaine
They took my brother to the juvenile house
Where they held for a quarter of an ounce
My mama told me not to hang around the house

I'm walking from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Yeah, I'm trying to walk away
Let this one blow over
But I'm fighting like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner

Last time I seen her was a discotheque
Counting buttons on a lawyer's vest
She walked out but it ain't over yet

I'm walking from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Just try to walk away
Let this one blow over
But I'm fighting like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner

I'm walking from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
I'm walking from the fire
Don't put me in a corner

Mama used to rock back in 1953
Buys him all the records that they sell on TV
I know Chuck Berry wasn't saying that for me

I'm walking from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Yes, I'm turning that cheek
'Til this is all over
But I'm fighting like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner

I'm walking from the fire
I'm walking from the fire
