V F D by Michelle Shocked
V F D
[VERSE]
A G A G
Me and my friend and this boy named Eddie
A G A
We was bored one afternoon
A G
We was sitting in the hay
A G
It was a hot Texas day
A G A
And we was playing with matches like some kids do
A G A G
We would throw our matches into the high dry grass
A G A
Close our eyes and count to ten
A G
And then race the burning field
A G
Doing the toe and heel
A G A
We’d die laughing and do it all over again
[CHORUS]
(I'm singin')
A G A
Where there’s smoke there’s sure to be a fire
G A
Ready steady go it was down to the wire
G A
We was racing inevitability
G A
We was making trouble for the V F D (That's the Volunteer Fire Department, now)
[BRIDGE 1]

Somebody called for the V F D
G A

[VERSE]
A G
They drive from fifteen miles away
A G
So by the time they arrived I’m sorry to say
A G
The field was black
A G
The sky was grey
A
And you know those barns they use to store the hay in? - Uh-huh
[VERSE]
A G
The volunteers all shook their heads
A G
And then I recalled one of them said
A G
This fire was no accident
G A
No, this fire started with a match
[BRIDGE 2]
A G A G
I slowly backed into the crowd - Me and Eddie we looked at each other
A G
We never mentioned it to this day
A A G
But my friend, she went and told her mother (Aww, Jesus! - Can you believe that?)
A
She said--
[CHORUS OUTRO]
A G A
Where there’s smoke there’s sure to be a fire
G A
Ready steady go it was down to the wire
G A
We was racing inevitability
G A
We was making trouble for the V F D
A G
We was raising insurance premiums, ma
A G
We was spreading fear of arson
A G
We was spreading fear of arson
A
All around -- Kelsey
