Lyrics

When Phoenix was a youngin’ folks for miles around,
learned to stay away from that terrible sound
He had the kind of tantrum like a nuclear blast,
Walls torn asunder, devastation vast
I said son how are things ever gonna be the same, he said
Don’t worry dad I rise from the flames

I rise from the flames
Them toys is all mine
I rise from the flames
Gimme them cookies they’re my favorite kind
Things around here ain’t never gonna be the same cause
Phoenix is my name and I rise from the flames

I rise from the flames x3

Phoenix stole a car and went riding’ for fun
Cruzin’ for girls out on highway 51
The cops finally caught him and they threw him in jail
I never will forget how them sirens wailed
I said son how are things ever gonna be the same, he said
Don’t worry dad I rise from the flames

I rise from the flames
I’ll be outta here quick sure as hell
I rise from the flames
Just as soon as you go on an’ throw my bail
Things around here ain’t never gonna be the same cause
Phoenix is my name and I rise from the flames

I rise from the flames x3

Well Farmer White’s daughter had a crush on my lad
aAnd when I saw them together I knew she had it bad
I said, “Phoenix and Marla now isn’t that grand”
Till I saw old farmer White with a shotgun in his hand
I said son how are things ever gonna be the same, he said
Don’t worry dad I rise from the flames


I rise from the flames
That boy he ain’t mine
I rise from the flames
But if he is we’re in for a terrible time
Things around here ain’t never gonna be the same cause
Phoenix Jr is his name and he’ll rise from the flames
