AL GREEN - FULL OF FIRE LYRICS

Full Of Fire Lyrics

FULL OF FIRE
Al Green
(Al Green; W. Mitchell; M. Hodges)

I'm full of fire (full of fire... full of fire)
you're my one desire...
baby I'm full of fire (full of fire... full of fire)
you can make me cry...
I can dance to the music...
I can sing all night long...
I can play with the band until you hear my song...
'cause I'm full of fire (full of fire... full of fire)
see the party lights....
baby I'm full of fire (full of fire... full of fire)
its the reason why...
I can dance with the fire...
burnin'.... burnin' low...
I can stay 'til the party is all over...
baby I'm full of fire (full of fire... full of fire)
I rolled a twenty one...
baby I'm full of fire (full of fire full of fire)...
life has just begun...
Ooo Ooo I can dance to the music...
I can under... understand that there must be a power that I hold in my hands...
dance... dance... dance...
Oh I understand...
young man... young man... I say I understand....
I can dance... dance...dance... dance...
I understand...
there's some things that I know...
but I want the horns to blow...
[fade]

The disco music wave of the '70s washed away the careers of many soul music artists who were unable to relate to or create music that appealed to dance music lovers. Some though were able to ride the crest of the wave and surf to chart success. Al Green's foray into the genre, "Full of Fire," was hailed with a full-page color ad in Billboard. It also marked a change of recording location because the artist's usual backing sections were unavailable: The Memphis Horns were on tour with the Doobie Brothers while the background vocal trio of Rhodes, Chalmers & Rhodes were singing with Paul Anka. "Full of Fire" was recorded in Las Vegas and Chicago instead of Green's usual Memphis recording base, Royal Recording, owned by producer Willie Mitchell. Stylistically, "Full of Fire" has more in common with his '70s pop contemporary K.C. and the Sunshine Band (and their festive, brassy, junkanoo-influenced sound) than Green's soul man predecessor Otis Redding. The track also marked the beginning of the end of his mid-'70s heyday and his eventual journey into gospel music with its light references to a guiding power and being born again. Written by Green, Mitchell, and guitarist Mabon Hodges, "Full of Fire" went to number one R&B in late 1975.
