some take to drinkin' some take to usin' but no matter what poison they choose some hit rock bottom lose every dollar some get their hearts broke into cause its a long way down and a hard road back chorus when you've been through hell played with fire watched the devil dance you thank th Lord each mornin' for one more second chance you might outrun your demons you might get on with your life but you never forget what the flames feel like i know temptation is out there waitin' to lure back into her arms but i wont surrender cause i remember how her kisses branded my heart so i'll walk away cause the fire still burns (chorus) if you follow the straight and narrow i know it might be hard to relate but if you've been there like i've been there your careful with each step you take cause its a long way down and hard road back (chorus) no you never forget what the flames feel like
