Wildfire won’t keep me back from you 

Have patience I will wait and I won’t complain 

I’ve been down to the South and back to Illinois 

It’s alright I’ll get by with some time 

I’m sorry that I got so damn confused 

but I still remember when I wouldn’t even look at you 

Wildfire won’t keep me back from you 

I know, I know, I know now it’s true 

I heard if I left behind this place I know 

to find a better place than here to there I’d go 

On new land a better man I’d become 

I’m so sorry that I got so damn confused 

but I still remember when I wouldn’t even look at you 

Wildfire won’t keep me back from you 

I know, I know, I know now it’s true 

This other place ain’t got the weight of what has been 

No country mile gonna change the time we spent 

It’s alright I’ll get by with some time 

I’m sorry that I got so damn confused 

but I still remember when I wouldn’t even look at you 

Wildfire, wildfire, wildfire, wildfire 

It won’t keep me back from you
