Midnight Fire

[Verse 1] Empty roads hum a lonesome tune, Old letters whisper your name by the moon. Dusty boots kickin' up yesterday’s ghosts, Sunset paints the porch where I miss you the most. [Pre-Chorus] Shadows dance where your laugh used to rise, Every star’s a crack in these blue-collar skies. I’m a fool for the way you burned like a hymn— Now this wild heart’s just a house built on limbs. [Chorus] I’m burnin’ for you under the southern sky, Your memory haunts my midnight road, oh, I Can’t run from this wildfire, can’t douse the flame— You’re the smoke in my lungs, the scar with no name. [Verse 2] Porch swing creaks with the weight of our sins, Banjo plucks the ache where your touch once began. You left like July—a heatwave, then rain, Now these four walls hum the blues of your train. [Pre-Chorus] Regrets pile high as the pines in the yard, Every mile’s a mile farther from hard. But the moon’s a liar, singin’ your song— I’m still dancin’ alone, holdin’ on, holdin’ on. [Chorus] I’m burnin’ for you under the southern sky, Your memory haunts my midnight road, oh, I Can’t run from this wildfire, can’t douse the flame— You’re the smoke in my lungs, the scar with no name. [Bridge] Slide guitar cries like a heart stripped bare, Cello strings pull where the hurt’s beyond repair. If love’s just a spark, why’s this fever still rise? You’re the ash on the wind, but damn, you’re my light. [Chorus] I’m burnin’ for you under the southern sky, Your memory haunts my midnight road, oh, I Can’t run from this wildfire, can’t quit this f***t— You’re the blaze in my bones keepin’ me alive. [Outro]
