Fire Up Your Cylinders

You knew more about most things
Than you ever lead to believe
Like how to be strong, or when to move on
You never failed to intrigue

And I could just sit with you for hours
And hear all that you had to say
Your voice had a depth that rose from your chest
When you talked about lands far away

So fire up your cylinders
Raise all your guns
Now ain’t the time to be cutting or running
They’ll be waiting outside
With their cannons drawn
They’ll show you no mercy
’Til you are no more
So let's give them all that we got until the dawn

You taught me dreams had a purpose
To chase and to catch every one
Sure there’ll be times, when life brings you wine
Or times you’ll be down in the dirt

So fire up your cylinders
Raise all your guns
Now ain’t the time to be cutting or running
They’ll be waiting outside
With their cannons drawn
They’ll show you no mercy
’Til you are no more
So let's give them all that we got until the dawn
