Country Songwriter
I'm a songwriter from Indiana.
Lyrics
I was raised in Indiana; Near the Franklin County Line.
I learned real young what winter’s all about.
My daddy taught me early if I wanna stay warm;
I better keep the flame burnin’ the whole winter storm.
‘Cause it sure gets cold; WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT.
WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT, the nights get long.
You toss and you turn just tryin’ to stay warm.
WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT, the breeze moves in.
And you better find a match to get the flame started again.
I moved to Cincinnati; Fell in love by the riverside.
But she did me wrong, and tore my heart right out.
If the Ohio river should ever go dry;
I could fill it up with the tears that I cried.
Lord, it sure gets cold; WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT.
WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT, the nights get long.
You toss and you turn just tryin’ to stay warm.
WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT, the breeze moves in.
And you better find a match to get the flame started again.
Well, I left Cincinnati, and that ‘ole girl behind.
But I couldn’t forget how she ripped my heart right out.
If the Ohio river should ever go dry;
I could fill it up with the tears that I cried.
Lord, it sure gets cold; WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT.
If the Ohio river should ever go dry;
I could fill it up with the tears that I cried.
Lord, it sure gets cold; WHEN THE FIRE GOES OUT.
