Paper in Fire - John Cougar Mellencamp (1987)
(no 3rd)
She had a dream and boy it was a good one
(no 3rd)
So she chased after her dream with much desire
(no 3rd)
But when she got too close to her expectations
Well the dream burned up like paper in fire
Chorus:
Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtray
Paper in fire, smokin' up the alley ways
Who's to say the way a man should spend his days
Do you let them smolder like paper in fire?
He wanted live with no involvement
So he chased the wind that's all his silly life required
And the days of vanity went on forever
And he saw his days burn up like paper in fire
Chorus
Interlude
There is a good life right across this green field
And each generation stares at it from afar
But we keep no check on our appetites
So the green fields turn to brown like paper in fire
