Fire Balloon

Wakin' up to a coffee cup
Eggs and bacon fryin' up
Until they fill the room
With such a sweet perfume

Flashin' back to late last night
Flyin' high above the campfire light
Driftin' through the midnight sky:
One lonely fire balloon

And I watched you standing there
Lighting up the Bluegrass sky
With your Texas flare
While the girls all gathered round
To watch you do that party trick you do

And as the Saturday night slips on through
And in to Sunday afternoon
You're driftin' through my mind
Just like a fire balloon

You said: Nothing up my sleeve
Nothing but some old-time blues
Nothing in my pocket
But when you got nothing
At least you've got nothin' to lose

You just take those blues
You wrap ' em up tight
Twist 'em all around
And you give 'em a light
And then you send those balls of fire
On up to meet the moon

Cuz when this world has got you down
I've found a little trick that's tried and true
When you're feelin' blue
Send up a fire balloon

So now I'm wakin' up to a coffee cup
Eggs and bacon fryin' up
Until they fill the room
With such a sweet perfume

And as those words you said
Linger in my head
Just like an old familiar tune
You're driftin' through my mind
Just like a fire balloon

You're driftin' through my mind
Just like a lonely fire balloon...
