Subject: RE: I'm going to Heaven in a Flash of Fire From: Mountain Dog Date: 27 Mar 97 - 04:41 PM The rusted gears of memory have begun to turn and I've got at least some of the lyrics: Flash of Fire - Hoyt Axton I thought you were a friend of mine I thought you were my buddy, But I found out a short while ago That your thoughts are dark and muddy You scare me half to death my friend With the things you say and do So I'm goin t'heaven in a flash of fire With or without you, Yea, goin t'heaven in a flash of fire With or without you. For Hoyt fans, there's a true fanatic who's recently launched an Axton-only web page titled "Hoy Axton Explodes" I came across it by way of an Alta Vista seach by keying in his first and last name. The web- meister is working on transcriptions of lyrics, a 20+ tune songbook, an exhaustive discography, etc. Well worth a look! |
Subject: RE: I'm going to Heaven in a Flash of Fire From: Les Blank Date: 27 Mar 97 - 08:21 PM For all of you Hoyt Axton fans out there, the site that Mountain Dog refers to is at www.eyekon.com/hoytaxton/index.html. He's not kidding. Even if you know have all of Hoyt's albums but two and even if you didn't wish him Happy Birthday on 3/25 and even if you didn't follow him all over So Cal in the early 60's to try to learn to play Lightin' Bar Blues and even if -- the web site is something to behold from a purist's point of view. Stone is truly a fanatic and I rank somewhere in the top ten or fifteen. Try it , you'll like it. The album is on A & M records. |

Subject: RE: I'm going to Heaven in a Flash of Fire From: GUEST,Bill Kehew Date: 18 Oct 06 - 10:18 AM Here's most of it: Flash of Fire – Hoyt Axton I thought you were a friend of mine, I thought you were my buddy But I found out a short while ago your thoughts were dark and muddy. It scares me half to death, my friend, with the things you say and do. So I'm goin' to heaven in a flash of fire, with or without you. Easy come, easy go, some call me easy money Sometimes life is full of laughs, and sometimes it ain't funny. ???????? So I'm goin' to heaven in a flash of fire, with or without you. Some can dance and some can sing, and some can play the fiddle. I've been left and I've been right, and I've been down the middle. You may think that I'm a fool, and sometimes that is true But I'll be goin' to heaven in a flash of fire, with or without you. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Flash of Fire (Hoyt Axton) From: GUEST,Tim in Rapid City,SD Date: 05 Aug 16 - 01:47 AM Two of my best friends were killed by lightning while fishing and one of them left Hoyt Axton's cassette tape at my house. I never heard this song until I played the tape at a private wake for them. We all had goose bumps. |
