Walkin’ From The Fire

They come out here with the dog on a chain And they took my little brother away Tell my mama he was selling cocaine They took my brother to the juvenile house Where they held for a quarter of an ounce My mama told me not to hang around the house I'm walkin' from the fire Don't put me in a corner Yeah, I'm trying to walk away Let this one blow over But I'm fightin' like a tiger Don't put me in the corner Last time I seen her was a discotheque Countin' buttons on a lawyer's vest She walked out but it ain't over yet I'm walkin' from the fire Don't put me in a corner Just try to walk away Let this one blow over But I'm fightin' like a tiger Don't put me in the corner I'm walkin' from the fire Don't put me in a corner I'm walkin' from the fire Don't put me in a corner Mama used to rock back in 1953 Buys him all the records that they sell on TV I know Chuck Berry wasn't saying that for me I'm walkin' from the fire Don't put me in a corner Yes, I'm turning that cheek 'Til this is all over But I'm fightin' like a tiger Don't put me in the corner I'm walkin' from the fire I'm walkin' from the fire
