SHE’S ON FIRE [Verse 1: Deep gritty baritone, driving blues-rock groove] She wears her mama’s silver cross, A black dress trimmed in red. Sawdust on her worn-out boots, A thousand thoughts inside her head. She’s closing down her brother’s bar, Making sure he made it home. Then finds a song on the jukebox, And sings like she’s never been alone. I’ve gotten good at disappearing Before somebody gets too close. But something in the way she laughs Makes me wanna let that go. [Pre-Chorus: Rising energy] And the way she moves, Lord, the way she moves. Got the devil looking nervous And the angels confused. [Chorus: Powerful melodic rock vocals] She’s got a match in her smile, Got a storm beneath her skin. Every time she walks into a room, All the light comes rushing in. She’s not just fire, She’s the flame I can’t outrun. Every wall I built for shelter Turns to smoke beneath the sun. That woman’s on fire, And she’s teaching me to live! [Verse 2: Driving rhythm, emotional delivery] Bare feet on the hardwood floor, Singing to an old rock song. Her father’s picture in her wallet, Still talks to him though he’s gone. She dreams of yellow shutters, A garden and a Sunday table. A house filled up with laughter, And a love that’s strong and stable. She catches me watching from the doorway, Says, “You gonna stand there all night?” I tell her I’m better off in shadows. She says, “Then come sit in the light.” [Chorus: Full band, soulful intensity] She’s got a match in her smile, Got a storm beneath her skin. Every time she walks into a room, All the light comes rushing in. She’s not just fire, She’s the flame I can’t outrun. Every wall I built for shelter Turns to smoke beneath the sun. That woman’s on fire, And she’s teaching me to live! [Bridge: Brief emotional breakdown, fully sung] I spent three years sleeping sideways, Saving space for someone who never came. She reached out and took my hand, And something in me changed. She don’t ask me for forever, Just gives me room to breathe. For the first time in a long time, I’m not afraid to believe. [Final Chorus: Explosive, soaring baritone] SHE’S GOT A MATCH IN HER SMILE! GOT A STORM BENEATH HER SKIN! Now the whole damn night is burning, And I’m letting the light come in! She’s not just fire, She’s the reason I believe. Every door I locked against love Is opening inside of me. THAT WOMAN’S ON FIRE! AND SHE’S TEACHING ME TO LIVE! [Outro: Fully sung, short definitive ending] Some women light up a room, She brought me back to life. I’m not running anymore, I’m staying here tonight. That woman’s on fire… And now so am I. [End: Final chord, no fade]
