Girl On Fire

(album: We Were Cowboys - 2022)

I wonder if those whispering pines
Ever told our secrets
'Cause if I have one too many I'll tell you mine
A story of how the first cut is the deepest
And how some old flames just don't fade with time

We were bottle rockets in a summer love
Shooting for the stars we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider
I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire

I wonder if you ever made it out to Colorado
Or did the Santa Ana's take you to the coast
You might a tried settling down
But you can't be what you're not though
You were born to burn just a little out of control
Trust me, I know

We were bottle rockets in a summer love
Shooting for the stars we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider
I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire

Like the sky turns at night
When the sun dips down just right
That was us, we were young
We were love on fire
On fire

We were bottle rockets in a summer love
Shooting for the stars we were blowing up
Moonlight kisses in a Chevrolet bed
All over my heart over my head
You were my half pack hider
I was your glove box lighter
If I tell you I knew what I was doing I'm a liar
I was trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
Trying to play it cool with a girl on fire
