Four walls I built one winter
   She came to share my name
   For years we lived as lovers on the open plains
   Far off the heat wave shimmers
   Pipelines and the gasoline
   One day it all came running like a bad dream
   Fire, smoke-filled lungs
   I hope I'll be standing when the day is done
   We're
  
   Staring out at the red plains
   And we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage
   A lifetime living on the red plains
   Watching out as it all goes up in flames
  
  
   Get up on Sunday morning
   Repent for Friday night
   Don't let 'em tell you it's gonna be a fair fight
   I gave her clothes and a diamond
   She loved the things that shine
   But one day the gold and the silver get left behind
   Fire, smoke-filled rooms
   I hope I'll be standing when the day is through
  
   Staring out at the red plains
   And we're hiding out from the smoke and the rage
   A lifetime living on the red plains
   Watching out as it all goes up in flames
