The Hooters - Engine 999 lyrics

She was the fire and I was the engine One of a thousand built to last She was the fire dancing with hunger She knew I would follow 'til I ran out of gas Lost in the summer of burning desire She lit the night for miles away Out of control, yeah she was the fire And off in the distance she called my name Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind She was the fire and I was her prisoner One of a thousand tied to her flame She was the fire dancing with hunger And the way she danced was never the same I was a fool to try and contain her One of a thousand consumed in her path Running like wild yeah she was the fire I was the engine she was calling back Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind She was the fire and I was the engine She was the one I couldn't tame Out of control, yeah she was the fire And still I can hear her call my name Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind
