[Verse 1] You struck the match beside the county line Boot heels sparking on the broken sign Your leather jacket wore a silver tear You said, “Come on, we’re not staying here” [Pre-Chorus] The highway shook beneath our wheels Your laugh cut through the heat One more mile, one more dare And nothing left to keep [Chorus] Burning fire, take me higher We were born to cross that line Burning fire, wild desire Your hand locked hard in mine When the morning calls us home We’ll still be blazing on our own Burning fire! [Verse 2] At the roadhouse, coins rang in the tin You stole my soda, wore my grin The jukebox rattled, the floorboards swayed We made a kingdom out of yesterday [Pre-Chorus] The county boys were closing in You winked and pulled me through Past the trucks and the rattling gate Straight into the blue [Chorus] Burning fire, take me higher We were born to cross that line Burning fire, wild desire Your hand locked hard in mine When the morning calls us home We’ll still be blazing on our own Burning fire! [Bridge] If the road runs out, we’ll run on foot If the whole town turns, we’ll stay misunderstood No crown, no rules, no alibi Just your name riding shotgun tonight [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Burning fire, take me higher We were born to cross that line Burning fire, wild desire Your hand locked hard in mine When the morning calls us home We’ll still be blazing on our own Burning fire! Burning fire! [Outro] Your hand locked hard in mine Burning fire!
