about

This track was written by the legendary songwriting team Billy Don Burns and Hank Cochran. We met Billy at a mutual friend's house in Greencastle, IN and got into a guitar pull. After trading several songs, Billy Don suggested John and I take a crack at recording this tune. We added pedal steel legend and Bloomington Indiana native Jerry Miller to the mix for this recording and love the percussion tracks recorded by Pendleton, IN native and Franklin, TN resident, Andy Grooms.

lyrics

Angel Fire
Billy Don Burns/Hank Cochran
Let’s get out of this town
Lets leave here today
I’ll take you to paradise
I know the way
We’ll follow the sunset
At the end of the day
To Angel Fire
That’s where we’ll stay
Chorus:
Angel Fire
Where the water is sweet
The air is clean
Let me show you that dream
The eagles fly there
The trees grow high there
Disappear in the sky there
In Angel Fire
We’ll build a cabin
On top of a mountain
Overlooking a valley
Where wildflowers grow
We’ll cut logs for the fire
We’ll plant food in the dirt
Make love in an open field
On the face of the earth
Bridge
There won’t be no fax machines
Traffic jams or siren screams
You and I will be everything up there
In Angel Fire
Chorus:
Angel Fire
Where the water is sweet
The air is clean
Let me show you that dream
The trees grow high there
The eagles fly there
Disappear in the sky there
In Angel Fire
… Angel Fire
