Mark Winston Hagood - VFD

Had a big fire last week down on a ranch just south of town
Caught us in the draw, we almost died trying to beat the flames back down
Seemed like there was no way out, must confess I had my doubts
Said a little prayer, braced myself for the pain
I was calling on Jesus, busting through a wall of flames

I can't catch my breath, smoke burning my eyes
I can feel the heat, fanning from the flames nearby
It's a hell of a ride, working for the VFD
It's a hell of a ride, but it's the life for me

Work day and night, risk our lives and get no pay
But that's alright, it ain't about the money anyway
Never know when you're gonna get the call, just might have to risk it all
But it's all in a day's work, working for the VFD

I can't catch my breath, smoke burning my eyes
I can feel the heat, fanning from the flames nearby
It's a hell of a ride, working for the VFD
It's a hell of a ride, but it's the life for me

And one of these days I just might have to risk it all
I got a sweet little lady waiting at home for me
Sometimes her prayers are the only thing keeping me alive
It's all in a day's work, working for the VFD

I can't catch my breath, smoke burning my eyes
I can feel the heat, fanning from the flames nearby
It's a hell of a ride, working for the VFD
It's a hell of a ride, but it's the life for me
Hell of a ride, but it's the life for me

God bless the men and women of the VFD
