Throw my hand on the blade for ya.

I'd jump in front of a train for ya.

You know I'd do anything for ya.

Where dreams are made of.

Heartbeat runnin' away

Beating like a drum

And it's coming your way

Can't you hear that boom,

Badoom, boom

Boom, badoom, boom bass?

When marimba rhythms start to play

Dance with me, make me sway

Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore

Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze

Bend with me, sway with ease

Now you get to watch her

Leave out the window

Wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel,

Feel so paper thin...

You, with your voice

Like nails on a chalkboard

Calling me out when I'm wounded

We call them fools

Who have to dance within the flame.

Who chance the sorrow and the shame

That always come with getting burned.

But you got to be tough

When consumed by desire

'Cause it's not enough

Just to stand outside the fire.

- Garth Brooks
