Fire Knows My Name Tonight
Title: Fire Knows My Name Verse 1 I was born where the sirens pray Rust and ruin in the light of day Mama said, "Girl, don't tempt the flame" But fire always knew my name Boot heels loud on a dead-end street Ash in my lungs, blood on my feet Every promise I ever broke Still rides with me like blackened smoke Pre-Chorus They said hell would come to claim me Funny thing... It already did Chorus I ride with fire in my headlights Chains hum low when the engine cries Devils talk but I don't listen I left damnation miles behind I don't kneel, I don't confess I don't beg and I don't bless If you sold your soul for power or pride Fire knows my name tonight Verse 2 Preachers smile with spotless hands While graves fill up on borrowed land Justice sleeps in a shallow grave Waiting on me to collect what's paid Moon's gone red, hear the blacktop scream Every mile feeds the gasoline I ain't mercy, I ain't grace I'm the shadow you can't outrun Pre-Chorus You can hide in holy ground Fire don't care where you're found Chorus I ride with fire in my headlights Smoke like prayers that never rise Devils whisper, angels watch Nobody's coming to save your hide I don't kneel, I don't confess I don't bow to righteousness If you crossed that line and thought you'd slide Fire knows my name tonight Bridge (half-spoken, low) I ain't the devil... I'm what comes after. Final Chorus I ride with fire in my headlights Chains sing truth in a minor key You chose the darkness, I chose the highway Now the debt walks next to me Burn it down, let ashes speak Every sin remembers me When the night comes calling your lies Fire knows my name tonight Outro No crown... No throne... Just the road... And what you owe.
