Lyrics:

                                                  
Like Your Hair’s On Fire

(Verse)
Caught the ear of an old guy at work one day
Two weeks from his gold watch, no smile on his face
He said, "This job fed our fam'ly, put a roof over our heads
Gave 'em 40 years of sweat now all I've got is regrets”
           I said, "What's your advice man?" And he said....
 
(Chorus)
Don't think time's on your side
It's nothin' but a thief
One day a girl 'll catch your eye
Next day you're a dad of three
Take that spark in your belly
Pour gasoline on desire
And chase your dreams
Like your hair's on fire

(Verse)
I went home that night, blew the dust off my guitar
Friends at the fact’ry said it won't take you far
I'm not buyin' what they're sellin', I'm out to prove 'em wrong
My ticket is my voice and a suitcase full of songs
            That ‘ol guy’s words echo in my head...

(Chorus)

(Instrumental turnaround)

(Bridge)
I'll either make it to the top or go out in a blaze
I'll never have a "what if", so I win either way

(Breakdown chorus)
 
(Outro)
Ohhh, chase your dreams
Like your hair's on fire…ohh ohh 
Like your hair's on fire
