She was a Northern girl
Left out on her lonesome in the cruel world
She was thumbin' out from Vegas, off of standin' curves
In this town full of ashes, I know I found a pearl, found a pearl

The heat of summertime
We were fast and reckless and we were runnin' wild
There was no one to touch us, yeah, her heart was mine
She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' fine, lookin' fine

Let's burn something beautiful
Yeah, we burned, now it's unstoppable

'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire
No, you can't take it back once you've cross 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

On fire

The smell of gasoline, her smile reflected to find the smell of gasoline
She's a smoke show, a-raging like you ain't never seen
She was ready to rev it, and she was lookin' mean, lookin' mean

Yeah, we burned something beautiful
Gettin' burned, and it's unstoppable

'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire
No, you can't take it back once you've cross 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

(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 a crime
The smoke and ash in a tiny orphan hand as the flames were risin' high)

You can't light a match that's already on fire
You can't take it back once you've cross 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
