lyrics

Oh 6 weeks now, not a drop a rain
Old folks down at the church are prayin’
Sparks from the wheels of a passing train
Trouble is coming our way
Well the call comes in from the spotting plane
There’s a monster loose and its gotta be tamed
It looks like a long hot summer again
Trouble is coming our way

Oh, oh, the wind is high
Forest floor is tinder dry
Flames reaching for the sky
Trouble is coming our way

Oh this four fifteen’s a thirsty one
6 tons of water on every run
It’s the plane you need to get the job done
When trouble is coming our way
Well you throttle up, hear the engines roar
Feel the heat rising through the floor
You drop your load and you go for more
Trouble is coming our way

Oh, oh, the wind is high
Burning embers fill the sky
Oh, it’s do or die
Trouble is coming our way
Oh, oh, on the edge of town
Trees exploding all around
Time to knock the monster down
Send trouble on its way

Oh oh, the wind is high
Angels flying cross the sky
Oh, it’s a beautiful sight
When trouble is coming our way
Oh, oh, you can hear them shout
Water falling all about
Time to knock the monster out
Send trouble on its way

Well I fly across this great big land
In the world’s most sophisticated watering can
Same old story wherever I am
Trouble is coming our way
So when the heat is on, the people pray
That a 4-15 Bombardee-eh
Will ride into town and save the day
When trouble is on its way
When trouble is on its way

Paul Dunn Ontario

In 2006, Paul stepped Out of the Shadows and caught the attention of Bryan Adams’ co-writer Jim Vallance. As the producer of iconic hits such as Cuts Like A Knife and Summer of 69, Vallance has an ear for talent.

“Great lyric perspective,” Vallance said after reviewing Paul’s I Don’t Wanna Write A Song. An “excellent song.”

This is honest music.
