"Nights On Fire" lyrics

Honeysuckle blooming
Silver buckle 'Bama mooning
An army blanket on the banks of the Coosa River red clay
A whippoorwill whistling in the pines
Claude McKay's muscadine wine
Small-town lovers' innocence
Lord, it can't wait

On a seventeen hot summer
Smoking like a cigarette
We didn't need no matches to set

Nights on fire
Nights on fire
It was "Freebird" and long days
And California-dreaming old flames
And burning small-town bridges with desire
Nights on fire

Million dollars short, a week late
A buckshot 'Bama license plate
And I'da woke up in hell if he could shoot straight in the dark
But just like the southern wind blow
She'd sneak out her bedroom window
And jump in Silverado and we go stoke that spark

Nights on fire
Nights on fire
It was "Freebird" and long days
And California-dreaming old flames
And burning small-town bridges with desire
Nights on fire

On a seventeen hot summer
Smoking like a cigarette
We coulda used a wet match to set

Nights on fire (Nights on fire)
Nights on fire (Nights on fire)
It was "Freebird" and long days (Nights on fire, on fire)
And California-dreaming old flames (On fire, nights on fire)
And burning small-town bridges with desire (Oh)
Nights on fire

Nights on fire
