Always on Fire Songtext
von Zac Brown Band

She was an orphan girl
Left out on her lonesome in a cruel world
She was thumbing out from Vegas off a Staten curse
In this town full of ashes, I knew I′d found a pearl, found a pearl
The heat of summertime
We were passionate, restless and we were running wild
There was no one could touch us, yeah her heart was mine
She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' fine, lookin′ fine

And she burned something beautiful
Yeah the burn now is unstoppable
Cuz you can't light a match that's already on fire
No you can′t take it back once you′ve crossed that wire
She's not going down unless she′s going down in flames
No you can't light a match that′s already on fire


The smell of gasoline
Her smile reflected the fire that smelled like gasoline
She's a smoke show and ragin′ like you ain't never seen
She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' mean, lookin′ mean

Yeah we burned something beautiful
It burns and it′s unstoppable
Cuz you can't light a match that′s already on fire
No you can't take it back once you′ve crossed that wire
She's not going down unless she′s going down in flames
'Cause you can't light a match that′s already on fire

Her silhouette′s a vision
As she's walking from the flames
In a force of raw destruction
From an early age
No one knew what happened
The night they found her crying
A smoky mess in a tiny orphanage
As the flames were rising higher


You can′t light a match that's already on fire
You can′t take it back once you've crossed that wire
She′s not going down unless she's going down in flames
No you can't light a match that′s already on fire
