Playin' With Firewater
Embers of Regret: Playin' With Firewater Unveils a Dark Dance with Fate
Lyrics
Yonder way back that mountain road
Refers to a distant place along a mountain road.
That hidden place we used to go
A secluded spot from the past.
Slip away where no one knows
Escaping to a hidden place away from others.
Roll one by the creek just like before
Recreating a familiar scene by the creek.
Come on, now, feel that warm breeze blow
Sensing a warm breeze, setting a relaxed atmosphere.
Playin' with firewater
Engaging in risky behavior involving alcohol.
With a coal miner's daughter
Referencing a romantic partner as a coal miner's daughter.
Burn all night, baby, in that wooded holler
Describing a prolonged night in a wooded area.
Playin' with fire, that jar of firewater
Playing with the dangerous consequences of alcohol.
So we drank and tripped all night long
Consuming alcohol and indulging in excess.
Got a little wild, a little too far gone
Becoming unrestrained and losing control.
With clouded judgment, we pushed our luck
Exercising poor judgment under the influence.
Fatal mistake, boy, you mangled that truck
Committing a serious mistake, likely a car accident.
Come on, now, feel the poison take control
Sensing the effects of intoxication taking over.
Playin' with firewater
Continuing to engage in risky behavior with alcohol.
With a coal miner's daughter
Referring again to the romantic partner as a coal miner's daughter.
Burn all night, baby, in that wooded holler
Describing another night in the wooded area.
Playin' with fire, that jar of firewater
Emphasizing the dangerous nature of playing with firewater.
Now you see where we went wrong
Reflecting on the mistakes made and the consequences.
When you play with fire, and you're too far gone
Warning against the dangers of playing with fire.
Don't you light that match, don't you strike that spark
Advising against taking further risks.
'Cause your world will just turn cold and dark
Highlighting the potential for a negative impact on one's life.
Come on, now, don't go back down that road
Encouraging avoidance of past mistakes.
Playin' with firewater
Reiterating the theme of risky behavior with alcohol.
With a coal miner's daughter
Referencing the romantic partner again.
Burn all night, in that wooded holler
Describing another night in the wooded area.
Playin' with fire, that jar of firewater
Emphasizing the dangers of playing with firewater.
