They come out here with the dog on a chain
And they took my little brother away
Tell my mama he was selling cocaine
They took my brother to the juvenile house
Where they held for a quarter of an ounce
My mama told me not to hang around the house
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Yeah, I'm trying to walk away
Let this one blow over
But I'm fightin' like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner
Last time I seen her was a discotheque
Countin' buttons on a lawyer's vest
She walked out but it ain't over yet
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Just try to walk away
Let this one blow over
But I'm fightin' like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Mama used to rock back in 1953
Buys him all the records that they sell on TV
I know Chuck Berry wasn't saying that for me
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Yes, I'm turning that cheek
'Til this is all over
But I'm fightin' like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner
I'm walkin' from the fire
I'm walkin' from the fire
And they took my little brother away
Tell my mama he was selling cocaine
They took my brother to the juvenile house
Where they held for a quarter of an ounce
My mama told me not to hang around the house
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Yeah, I'm trying to walk away
Let this one blow over
But I'm fightin' like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner
Last time I seen her was a discotheque
Countin' buttons on a lawyer's vest
She walked out but it ain't over yet
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
Just try to walk away
Let this one blow over
But I'm fightin' like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner
I'm walkin' from the fire
Don't put me in a corner

'Til this is all over
But I'm fightin' like a tiger
Don't put me in the corner
I'm walkin' from the fire
I'm walkin' from the fire
