I met her down in a ghost town bar
Eyes like smoke in a broken star
She said love me once but never twice
I should've known by the roll of her dice
She kissed like whiskey, burned like sin
Took me places I ain't never been
But every rose got a buried thorn, and every kiss left my soul torn

Her name was fire, she lit me up
Then watched me drown in her poisoned cup
I gave her truth, she gave me pain
Now I wear her ghost like a blood-stained chained
I lover once, I loved her wrong
Now I sing her name in every song
Her name was fire
And now she's gone

They found her cold near devil's creek
With my name carved in her dying cheek
Sheriff said son, what you Do last night
I said I died with her, I never left the fight

We danced with death in motel beds
She whispered lies and turned hearts red
But love like that don't ever fade
It digs your grave with the vows you made

Her name was fire, she lit me up
Then watched me drown in her poisoned cup
I gave her truth, she gave me pain
Now I wear her ghost like a blood-stained chain
I lover once, I loved her wrong
Now I sing her name in every song
Her name was fire
And now she's gone

I still hear her laughing in the dessert wind
Still smell her perfume on my skin
Some devils wear lace, some angels fall
But she was both and she took it all

Her name was fire, and I got burned
Now every road is a lesson learned
I gave her soul she took my fate
Now I haunt her grave behind the gate
I loved her once, I loved her wrong
Still I sing her name in every song
Her name was fire
And she's never really gone
