Fire On The Freeway

The trees are getting dry, babe, there ain’t no water in the ground
The trees are getting dry, babe, there ain’t no water in the ground
There’s a fire on the freeway, and it’s coming into town

It’s been this way forever, and it’s never gonna change
We got ruts instead of rivers, we got rocks instead of rain
‘cause there’ s a fire on the freeway, fire on the freeway
Fire, and it‘s gonna burn it down 

Now we’re drinking the saltwater, hoping it will quench our thirst
Now we’re drinking the saltwater, hoping it will quench our thirst
There’s a fire on the freeway and it’s scorching the brown earth

I jumped into the ocean trying to escape the flames
My baby jumped into the ocean, and that’s why I did the same
There’s a fire on the freeway burning ‘cross the Western Plain
