Walkin' from the Fire - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

They come out here with the dog on a chain

And they took my little brother away

Tell my mama he was selling cocaine

They took my brother to the juvenile house

Where they held for a quarter of an ounce

My mama told me not to hang around the house

I’m walkin' from the fire

Don’t put me in a corner

Yeah, I’m trying to walk away

Let this one blow over

But I’m fightin' like a tiger

Don’t put me in the corner

Last time I seen her was a discotheque

Countin' buttons on a lawyer’s vest

She walked out but it ain’t over yet

I’m walkin' from the fire

Don’t put me in a corner

Just try to walk away

Let this one blow over

But I’m fightin' like a tiger

Don’t put me in the corner

I’m walkin' from the fire

Don’t put me in a corner

I’m walkin' from the fire

Don’t put me in a corner

Mama used to rock back in 1953

Buys him all the records that they sell on TV

I know Chuck Berry wasn’t saying that for me

I’m walkin' from the fire

Don’t put me in a corner

Yes, I’m turning that cheek

'Til this is all over

But I’m fightin' like a tiger

Don’t put me in the corner

I’m walkin' from the fire

I’m walkin' from the fire
