Fireworks Over Fairview
There’s fireworks over Fairview tonight
Wheels of fire turn and fade up above the city lights
Heart attacks beat my uncle’s chest tight
As fireworks turn and fade over Fairview tonight

If you marry me, darlin’
Then you marry the road
Best count the cost before you write off being alone
Can’t you see I am a plagued man
My words will do their best to outrun every memory I can’t

If I could be anything for a day
I’d be a bed and sleep my troubles away
I’d meet Jesse James on a cloud
And break C notes with my mouth
As pastors claimed healed is their heart
God took away everything but the heroin marks

Do you think that Simon really wanted to beat his kid the way his father did him?
Do you think that Simon really wanted to beat his kid the way his father did him?
There’s fireworks over Fairview tonight
Wheels of fire turn and fade up above the city lights
Heart attacks took my uncle’s life
As Jesus and fireworks danced over Fairview that night
