Campfire in Our Hearts Lyrics

Oh it hasn't rained in weeks

The forecast is looking bleak

And the clouds on the horizon are just pale white streaks

And the grass is gettin' drier than those stale saltines

We've been eatin' from the pantry cuz our tomatoes are still green

And Smokey the Bear is working overtime

Spreading word about the fire bans and excessive fines

Because a fire in dry woods

Could quickly turn no good

And those green hillsides are worth more s'mores than we could buy

And though we lack the use of flame

This feeling stays the same

It's a love that has no name

Of mother earth and wild things and that's why

Oh tonight that's why

We'll build a campfire in our hearts

Oh it's getting pretty dark

I sure wish I had a spark

I'm not sure about the forest in this unfamiliar park

And the breeze is mighty chilly on my sunburned arms

Would be nice to have a campfire here to keep us toasty warm

But the crunchy leaves remind me that the forest isn't well

And although a roaring campfire's pretty swell

A fire in dry woods

Could quickly turn no good

And those green hillsides are worth more s'mores than we could buy

But I'll take that warm familiar glow

Wherever I may go

And I'll forever know

I've got a campfire in my heart

And if this fire spreads

There's no need to fill with dread

Don't put it out instead

Feel the warmth and love of friends

So leave your matches, leave your trees

Grab your friends and family

Everybody's got a part

We're gonna build a fire

A warm and friendly campfire

Never put out that campfire in your heart
