Lyrics
We lit a fire by the mountain road Burned the setlist, burned the code Of all the things we said we'd be You said I looked like I was finally free The sparks went up like little flares Writing your name in the cold night air So sing it loud till the fire goes out Let the whole sky know what we're about Heartbreak's just a song we haven't finished yet Pass the bottle round, no regret Sing it loud till the coals burn low Tomorrow's a road we don't have to know We were here, we were young, we were singing Campfire out in Colorado The drummer's asleep in his coat and hat The bass player's laughing about all of that Harmonica cries in the pine tree dark Somebody's strumming a borrowed spark And I thought of you in a different town Wondered if you ever play our sound So sing it loud till the fire goes out Let the whole sky know what we're about Heartbreak's just a song we haven't finished yet Pass the bottle round, no regret Sing it loud till the coals burn low Tomorrow's a road we don't have to know We were here, we were young, we were singing Campfire out in Colorado And when the morning comes up grey We'll pack the van and drive away But the smoke in my coat will remember tonight And the way that the whole world sang in the light So here's to the ones who got away Here's to the songs we're gonna play And here's to a fire that gave us this A little warmth and a lasting kiss So sing it loud till the fire goes out Let the whole sky know what we're about Heartbreak's just a song we haven't finished yet Pass the bottle round, no regret Sing it loud till the coals burn low Tomorrow's a road we don't have to know We were here, we were young, we were singing Campfire out in Colorado Campfire out in Colorado Oh, oh, oh
