Burns for her love
Copyright (c) Duane Bryars

(Verse 1)
Campfires outside Reno in the darkness
This pretty girl lies down beside me
With long auburn hair, she doesn’t care
Of just long the night will be

Exchanging eyes across the firelight
I felt my heart being roped into hers
So scared to say, so I just walked away
And began a long road to this curse

(Chorus)
Down, that road to loneliness
I saddled my horse, and rode it tough
Through, the days that just never went away
Campfires for one just aint enough
When the fire in my heart burns for her love

(Verse 2)
15 years to this day since then
Still I find I can’t get over her
My friends say move on, leave her in the dawn
And go out and lose all your cares

Every single star, spells her name
But stars can be hidden by a new light
Maybe I should go, find someone and grow old
Because I can’t just live on thinking she might?

Chorus

(Verse 3)
Lying in bed 30 years since that day
With my wife holding unto my hand
I seen a familiar face, one that never got erased
Even I had changed into my younger man

We were back outside Reno, in the darkness
She smiled and said I love watching you sleep
I cried my first tear and held her so near
And promised she was always mine to keep

(Chorus 2)
Down, that road to happiness
Me and her on my horse, so true
Through, the days I hope never go away
Loving by campfires for two is enough
And the fire in our hearts burn for our love
