Well, I'm a cuttin' out
a firebrake line
Cuttin' out a firebrake line
Diggin' down deep to the clean line
Cuttin' out a firebrake line
Well, I'm a wild, wild, wildin' fool
On the other mountain hotshot crew
I can swamp and bail,
I can walk through hell I'm an
EMT and a torchman too
And the wind's blowin' hard and dry
And the sparks in the sand are sly
I made my stand with twenty good men
Better than the brothers
you'll never find
Got their backs and they got mine
Now I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line
Well, I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line
Cuttin' out a firebreak line
Diggin' down deep to the clay and lime
Now I'm cuttin' out a
firebreak line
Ed
Pean last year's a friend of mine
When I cut him down a fiery line
He invented this thing like
a hot sauce thing
And he never left a member
of his crew behind
And a wild jump across the line
Took him down an abandoned mine
And he drew his gun,
said he'd shoot the first one
But he got him in his head
and tried to step outside
Got everybody out alive
Ed
Pulescu's a friend of mine
And I'm cuttin' out a firebrain line
Cuttin' out a firebrain line
Diggin' down deep to the clan line
Cuttin' out a firebrain line
Cuttin' out a firebrake line
Cuttin' out a firebrake line
Diggin' down deep to the claim line
Cuttin' out a firebrake line
Gotta pray that the wind'll die
And it'll rain down from on high
I'll raise a glass to the hot shots past
And hot shot heaven up
above the sky
They're watchin' over
me when I'm
Cuttin' out a firebreak line
Yeah, I'm cuttin' out a firebreak line
Cuttin' out a firebreak line
Diggin' down deep to the claim line
Cuttin' out a firebreak line
I'm cutting out a fabric line,
I'm cutting out a fabric line
And digging down deep to the clay line,
I'm cutting out a fabric line
