Zac Brown Band – Already On Fire lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was an orphan girl
Left out on her lonesome in the cruel world
She was thumbin' out from Vegas off a Staten curse
In this town full of ashes, I knew I found a pearl, found a pearl
The heat of summertime
We were passionate, restless and we were runnin' wild
There was no one could touch us, yeah, her heart was mine
She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' fine, lookin' fine

[Pre-Chorus]
And she burned something beautiful
Yeah, the burn now is unstoppable

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire
No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire
She's not goin' down unless she's goin' down in flames
No, you can't light a match that's already on fire

[Post-Chorus]
On fire

[Verse 3]
The smell of gasoline
Her smile reflected the fire in a smell of gasoline
She's a smoke show and ragin' like you ain't never seen
She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' mean, lookin' mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we burned something beautiful
It burns and it's unstoppable

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire
No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire
She's not goin' down unless she's goin' down in flames
You can't light a match that's already on fire

[Bridge]
Her silhouette's a vision as she's walkin' from the flames
Been a force of raw destruction from an early age
No one knew what happened the night they found her cryin'
A smoky mess in a tiny orphanage as the flames were risin' high

[Chorus]
You can't light a match that's already on fire
You can't take it back once you've crossed that wire
She's not goin' down unless she's goin' down in flames
No, you can't light a match that's already on fire
