Bob Seger - The Fire Inside Lyrics
There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
There's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown light
Where the latest neon promises are burning bright
Where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines
The tired new money dressed to the nines
The low life dealers with their bad designs
And the dilettantes with their open minds
You're out on the town, safe in the crowd
Ready to go for the ride
Searching the eyes, looking for clues
There's no way you can hide
Well you've been to the clubs and the discotheques
Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises
Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks
Do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
And the lights go down and they dance real close
And for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone
They hold one another just a little too long
And they move apart and then move on
On to the street, on to the next
Safe in the knowledge that they tried
Faking the smile, hiding the pain
Never satisfied
The fire inside
Fire inside
Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep
You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave
You hear his car pull away in the street
Then you move to the door and you lock it when
he's gone for good
Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
And it comes to you how it all slips away
Youth and beauty are gone one day
No matter what you dream or feel or say
It ends in dust and disarray
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass
Waves rolling in with the tide
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode
But we cannot be denied
The fire inside

Bob Seger The Fire Inside Comments
All of the great songs Seger has done, this one somehow flies under the radar.
someone forgot to "Sync Up" this 'clip' with the song. ..... 2:20 $,$
I'm 15 years old and this has always been my favorite singer ever since I was born, this generations music just sucks.
Liked it as a teenager, love and understand it in my late 40s.....
2020 boogaloo music
I rember when the Double live album came out Late 1970's . I was 13 years old. My older brother went out and bought it. We shared a bedroom together. He would leave to go out with his freinds. And tell me to leave his albums and stereo alone . As soon as he was gone I would play the album. I didnt know what a soul full singer was or what it meant at the time. All I knew was their was something differnt about Bob and the silve Bullett band. Night moves. Down on main street. And like a fine wine he just got better with every album after. Against the wind, Like a rock, Roll me away. Fire inside, fire lake, accompany me. Still the same, weve got tonight are my favorites
Def gonna be playing this song during the boogaloo when the alphabet bois try to kick my door down but find that the claymore roomba is waiting for them in the living room
Quality comment, well done.
Here comes 2020...and Bob Seger and his music still speak. Who's still listening to this song as the new year comes?
Hey, but the kids today have RAP and Hip Hop!
Bob Sever is all time favorite of mine
"Dreams die hard,
and we watch them erode ...................
but we cannot be denied,
the fire inside" .......
He's speaking bout us all u no !!
Can anybody tell me what the names of the actors that play the couple in this clip are ?
I love this song
Bob Seger is awesome. I wish I knew the piano players name. These guys knocked it out of box.☹
Wow who is that woman!!!???? GORGEOUS!!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwwwwwww ............. Toymiko
My romantic life described to a T. Sing it Bob.
If ever there were a theme song to my life ... loved it when I first heard it at 11. Love it and relate to it even more at 39 <3 <3
Sounds like old Seger the real thing!!!!
I wish this song was still on Pandora, but hey, at least it's still on Spotify!
her temperature detectors work....😉
Katherine Martindale ewww
@Anisa Ess true story...lol
I've been hooked on Bob Seger since I first heard "Live Bullet" in 1976 while living in Los Angeles...The Fire Inside is one of those perfect songs, like Night Moves and Against the Wind...
love this song
I cant believe this twinkie is the new batman. WTF????
What movie is there video clips from?
Go salem oregon.
Telepathy
The guy looks like Robert pattinson
❤️💛💚💙Bob Seger forever ! 💜🖤♥️💘💝💖💗💓❣️
Thank you, The Power Loon 107.5, in Brainerd, MN, for introducing me to this song. Sure wish I could hear it on the radio in big cities like Phoenix and Dallas.
Only Bob Seger could write & perform a song as awesome as this!!! Pay particular attention to Craig Frost's AMAZING piano work here & you will see why this is one of the greatest driving songs ever recorded!!! Quite thought-provoking lyrics, as well!!!!!
There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
There's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown light
Where the latest neon promises are burning bright
Past the open windows on the darker streets
Where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines
The tired new money dressed to the nines
The low life dealers with their bad designs
And the dilettantes with their open minds
You're out on the town, safe in the crowd
Ready to go for the ride
Searching the eyes, looking for clues
There's no way you can hide
The fire inside
Well you've been to the clubs and the discotheques
Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises
Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks
Do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
And the lights go down and they dance real close
And for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone
The darkness scatters as the lights flash on
They hold one another just a little too long
And they move apart and then move on
On to the street, on to the next
Safe in the knowledge that they tried
Faking the smile, hiding the pain
Never satisfied
The fire inside
Fire inside
Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep
You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave
Like you knew he would
You hear his car pull away in the street
Then you move to the door and you lock it when
He's gone for good
Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
And it comes to you how it all slips away
Youth and beauty are gone one day
No matter what you dream or feel or say
It ends in dust and disarray
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass
Waves rolling in with the tide
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode
But we cannot be denied
The fire inside
Excellent.
Love Roy Bittan on the keys, very recognizable. E Street Band forever
Boogaloo time
He never lost it .... did he.
Love the piano in this song
This song keeping beat with my 117 ci S&S down I-5
Nice E30
He knows how the heart , the feelings can ,and we feel better if we just drive away and we can keep driving to another life and we can possibly get back to another and how it actually will run our life’s ! What a Video. 👍👍👍👍🌟💥🔥💗🎹🎼🥁
Wonderful song. Bad perfume ad video.
I hate being mentally ill
Fire inside can get you killed
Cliché but I wish I could like this more. 👏👏👏👏👏
Seger is the afternoon run to singer to get the Fire Burning .👉👈👉👈👉👈👍👍
The clip that originally came out with this tune (Seger sitting at a piano, writing songs) featured a woman that was absolutely stunning. I realise models are known for their photogenic qualities (duh), but this lady had that something that just leapt out of what was otherwise an unremarkable clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5XsDMXFPAI
I'm sure everything from her hair to the leather jacket+sunglasses looks very dated by modern 'fashion' standards, but thats the difference between fashion and style IMO. Barely a smile in the entire clip, but when she hints at one (2.25), its like the sun just came out after a week of gloom in Manhattan ;)
The original video is one of the best videos by anyone. Blocked in the US. Was able to watch it last week when I was in another country...
@LC OK, but the original was released when Pattinson was still in short pants ;)
This is a unbelievable powerful song. From the first to the last word.
Seger one of a kind nobody ,I mean nobody like Bob seger
I live this song...in my mind....its good...
Youth and beauty are gone one day.......
Another Seger Classic
Luv this song
I listened to his car pull away in the street,I watched the moon.Why didn't I stop him?
We guys, I tell my daughters, if we pull away...we just cant see how good what is in front of us actually is.
I would not kick her out of bed for farting... Sorry
Who made this video and who is the girl in it?
Camille Rowe
Gotta be Bruce Hornsby playing that piano
Bittan from e street is the piano player on this track.
I LOVE BOB SEGER IN 2019 AND I WILL LOVE HIM UNTIL I DRAW MY LAST BREATH..... HIS MUSIC IS THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY 63YO LIFE...
ok boomer
such a good fucking song.
Who are the actors in this video? I just saw Bob last night and decided to research this song. He did it in concert, but I wasn't familiar with it. Great song and video!
the guy is Robert Pattinson [twilight series] with model Camille Rowe
Life is very short embrace it while you have it.
I love bob segar
❤❤❤❤
This song makes me want to drive far and fast.💜
For goodness sakes,everything he sings is awesome!!!! I don’t think he could sing a bad song,he’s such a wonderful story teller! Love me some Bob Seger!!!
I believe every song wrote is a life experience. Fire Inside is one of my favorites.
Mine too...very personal...
I LOVE BOB SEGER IN 2018 GREAT SONG
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode but we can not be denied
I need a guy like him....
TRUMP 2020
Love Bruce Hornsby's elegant piano playing on this song :-)
Excellent video.
The other video was far superior. Told the story clearer And having Bob interspersed was classic
yet another Bob Seger masterpiece !
I've listened to this song over the years and was a big Seger fan back in the day. For some reason this song has gotten my attention here lately.
By the way, shitty video. I have no idea what it was about. And I hate the guy from Twilight and the movies suck.
The older I get (I'm 51), the more meaning these songs have to me. Bob and Bruce collectively.
G.E.I.L............
Bob Bob Bob. Simply devine.
Notice how they do not have tattoos all over their bodies?????!!!!!!
Took till my early 40s to understand this songs meaning in my soul.
Seeing brother bob next month!!! Legend
Great vocals and great piano! Thank you for the music!
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite musicians...Very inspirational...
Pat Pattison brought me here. I don't know Bob Seger very well, but he sounds like a better Bruce Springsteen to me, lol. Pardon my ignorance. This is really incredible songwriting, to point out the obvious. great video, too
I like sitting in the dark just staring out at the stars and listening to this track.....it’s the sound track of our lives.
He does have the fire inside...as well as the Fire Down Below, and at Fire Lake.
The lyrics are magnificent
Beautiful
I'm 46 years old and love Bob Seger's Music.. The song Lock and Load could be my life! Keep Rockin Mr Seger.. Is it me or does the guy in this video look like Robert Pattinson? I could be wrong..
Pure energy! Great Bob!
Professor Roy Bittan on piano. ESB’s not far...The best ever. Never satisfied. The fire inside.
Thank Joe great song❤️❤️🍷👍😘
Linda, you are so welcome.
Great song💃❤️Wild and crazy that’s 🍷🍷🍷my man🍷💃👍😘Singer🍷👍💃😘❤️
Such an amazing song I cant stop playing it. I grew up listening to him. Csnt get enough of his music. Always makes me feel at home no matter where I am. A incredibly talented artist.
now i wanna buy an e30 and drive on the beach
Take me with ya
Whenever I have a shitty day, I just need to see one of these videos and it helps...
This song is in my all time top 5. So emotional.
They don't get much better .
Wow...Fire Inside...
This song is on my old iPod, and I only discovered it two days ago. How I lived with out it, I have no idea, but my iPod froze because I listened to this song for to long. True story
