Cover art for Wildfire lyrics by Michael Martin Murphy

Well...if you want to be romantic and think of yonder days of an ancient native culture and an actual girl that ran off to chase a horse-go ahead. From an urban standpoint, and my disturbed mind this guy went away to clean up elsewhere. Yes, clean, no drugs, no coke, no heroin. To save himself, similar to Kristen (jennifer leigh Jason) in the movie Rush. His girl didn't follow but promised to. The urge was too much..she chased the cold needle and died as result. Don't take my word for it..I'm not on drugs, I'm just nuts. :)
