[Verse 1] She rode in with the wind in her hair, Took my smoke, said, “Boy, don’t you dare.” Boots on the bar, eyes wild and mean, Hell in her smile, red lips and gasoline. She said, “You look like trouble — I look like sin,” And Lord knows, that’s how it all begins. ⸻ [Chorus] Now there’s fire in her name and blood in my hands, We were wanted by the law and damned by the land. Every kiss was a spark, every touch was a crime, I was hers ( oooooh ohh) ‘til the end of time. But love like that don’t fade away — It burns and it burns till our final days . ⸻ [Verse 2] We robbed that bank in Jackson town, Laughin’ so loud as the shots rang out. She said, “Baby, run ‘fore they take us alive,” But her foot slipped once, and the world went quiet. (Ooooo ooooo) Sirens cried like a ghostly hymn, [sirens] As I carried her body through the smoke and sin. ⸻ [Chorus] Fire in her name and blood in my hands, We were cursed by fate, not by man’s commands. Every dollar burned, every dream went gray, But I’d do it again any damn day. ‘Cause love like that don’t fade away — It burns ‘til your soul starts to decay. ⸻ [Bridge – cinematic stillness] Now I ride through towns where her perfume lingers, A .38 cold between my fingers. Every sunset looks like her flame, And I whisper to the wind her name… Emerson… Emerson Biggens… ⸻ [Final Verse – outlaw’s last stand] The law found me by the river bend, Said, “Son, this is where your story ends.” But I lit one match and threw it high, Said, “If she’s gone to Hell, then so will I.” The flames rose up, the sky turned red, And they found two hearts where the ashes bled. ⸻ [Final Chorus – slow fade, ghostly harmonies] Fire in her name, dust in the rain, You can’t cage love, you can’t outrun pain. Now the legend rolls on, they still whisper her name — The outlaw who burned for a girl with no shame. ⸻ Post-scene (liner note tag): “Some say he died with her. Some say he rides still. Either way… when the wind blows through Abilene, you can still hear her laugh.”
