lyrics

Thought I, found my, little peace and quiet
But my, peace has, erupted into a fire
All I, loved has, gone up in smoke
Now I, got no, place to rest my bones
These pines, once stood, like sleeping giants
Until, the day, of the Bastrop fires
It's like, all hell, broke loose at once
And the, devil, had me in his sights
I just froze and watched the flames take aim
Just like Joan of Arc burned at the stake
Devil take my body but not my soul
The spirit of Joan has assured me so
