(Verse 1)
She was a Tuesday sunset, painted gold and pink
The kinda smile that makes a fella stop and think
Laughter like a melody on the radio
Wildflowers in her hair, puttin’ on a show
I was just a dusty truck on a two-lane road
With a heart that was carryin’ a heavy load
Then she looked my way under that neon moon
Didn’t know my world was gonna change so soon
(Pre-Chorus)
Just a “Hey, what’s your name?” and a “Where you from?”
Felt a little spark on the tip of my tongue
We were two single stars in a wide-open sky
Didn’t know we were about to learn to fly
(Chorus)
‘Cause this ain’t just a flicker, it ain’t just a flame
It’s the heat off the blacktop after a summer rain
It’s a hundred degrees in the middle of July
The kinda burnin’ bright you can see in my eyes
Yeah, you and me, baby, we’re a wildfire rush
More than just a feeling, bigger than a crush
We’re gasoline and a matchstick, a fever that’s caught
Yeah, we got that burnin’ bright, that crazy hot love
(Verse 2)
We spent our nights talkin’ on a front porch swing
Shared our broken pieces, every little thing
Learned your secret stories, you learned all of mine
Traced ’em on my hand like a lifeline sign
From a hesitant touch to a confident hold
A story that was never, ever gonna get old
You saw the best in me, I saw the light in you
Turned my faded denim into somethin’ brand new
(Chorus)
‘Cause this ain’t just a flicker, it ain’t just a flame
It’s the heat off the blacktop after a summer rain
It’s a hundred degrees in the middle of July
The kinda burnin’ bright you can see in my eyes
Yeah, you and me, baby, we’re a wildfire rush
More than just a feeling, bigger than a crush
We’re gasoline and a matchstick, a fever that’s caught
Yeah, we got that burnin’ bright, that crazy hot love
(Bridge)
Some people search forever for a spark this true
They settle for the grey, never find the blue
But we didn’t just find it, we set the world alight
And every single shadow ran away from the light, yeah!
(Guitar solo – melodic, soaring, and full of energy)
(Chorus)
‘Cause this ain’t just a flicker, it ain’t just a flame!
It’s the heat off the blacktop after a summer rain!
It’s a hundred degrees in the middle of July!
The kinda burnin’ bright you can see in my eyes!
Yeah, you and me, baby, we’re a wildfire rush!
More than just a feeling, bigger than a crush!
We’re gasoline and a matchstick, a fever that’s caught!
Yeah, we got that burnin’ bright, that crazy hot love!
(Outro)
Oh, that crazy hot love
(Burnin’ bright, yeah)
You and me, baby
(All day and all night)
Got that burnin’ bright, that crazy hot love
