A Fire That Just Won't Burn
Don Poythress Jimmy Ritchey Tommy Conners

Should've known
Should've run
But it ain't that easy
When you love someone
When it's gone
You'd best move on
Don't just stand there
Waiting til the table turns
It's like pouring whiskey on the fire that just won't burn

And there ain't no truth in 90 proof
But it sure feels good going down
It may give you hope
But it's just blowing smoke
How long will it take til you learn
You're pouring whiskey on a fire just won't burn

There ain't no good in looking back
It'll only break your heart
And that's enough of that
There ain't no right or reason why
To go sifting through the reasons why you hurt
You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn

And there ain't no truth in 90 proof
But it sure feels good going down
It may give you hope
But it's just blowing smoke
How long will it take til you learn
You're pouring whiskey on a fire just won't burn

And there ain't no truth in 90 proof
But it sure feels good going down
It may give you hope but its just blowing smoke
How long will it take til you learn
You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn
You're pouring whiskey on a fire that just won't burn
