Standing Outside the Fire by Garth Brooks

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always come with getting burned

But you got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Chorus:
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide standing outside the fire

Repeat Chorus(twice)

Garth rocks... there's not a Garth song out there you can't take the lyrics from and apply them somewhere, somehow, in your life be it present, past, or future. You're right, Suzanne!

Truer words were never spoken

Uh...maybe if it wasn't country music.

Always a critic in the bunch

Great song....But I dont like Garth.

he has 1 more song I do like and that s Beaches of Cheyenne!

Maybe I should update my profile. No "Garth" fanatics.

<<<Not a fanatic, just like some of his songs

i am not familiar with the song....

no offense


but i am familiar with " Malibu Coconut Rum"


Yummm!!!


btw....




good choice ...JayceKnows

I just don't like him. I saw an interview with him where he went on about this song "Unanswered Prayers". It was supposedly about how he was so thankful that he got to meet his wife. The next thing I know, he's poontanging around with that fat Trisha Yearbrooke or whatever her name is. So much for being thankful that he met his wife.

I wrote a whole paragraph or three about people missing the point and narrow mindedly focusing on one aspect of something. I deleted it. <shaking head> They don't get it...

I agree he did get together with Trisha Yearwood kinda fast but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of his songs are touching.

It's a mainstay in the liquor cabinet, for sure. Glad to be recognized. (=

We're even, I am not familiar with "Malibu Cocunut Rum"

hahahahaha


that's hilarious,


and so typical, so common...


especially with the hollyweird





it doesn't even surprise me

ohhh. well, Jayce's profile photo is a picture of a bottle of


Malibu Coconut Rum....I've worked as a cocktail waitress

and i happen to like rum.. ..


check out any full bar or any hard liquor store

and you will most likely find it...

it is excellent with Strawberry & other fruit daiquiris

Garth Brooks?! wtf? I like REAL country music like hank the first and willy nelson and johnny cash, old stuff thats closer in spirit 2 punk rock not the watered down pop junk on the country radio station
ill take my country music like whiskey, mean and harsh
as opposed to the appletini that is flatt n scruggs and trisha yearwood

i agree lizard King....




i was country way way before country was cool

country has gotten very glitzy over the years
and gotten very very very watered down ...

i like country rock and bluegrass and folk

over a lot of this stuff they call "country"

you have to be country to understand the country



it's like not being able to truly sing the blues...

unless you have wholeheartedly been there

we're all entitled to our opinion....

and different strokes for different folks
