V1
She put a match to his letter
She stood there and watched it burn
She didn’t feel any better
But at least it was a lesson learned
That paper burned to cinders
She gunned the engine and she drove away
But one small ember took to the breeze
And set the woods on fire that day
CHORUS
There was fire on that mountain
Flames to kingdom come
Higher than the canyons
Hotter than the sun
She was burning for redemption
She must have lost her mind
Hearts on fire leave more than ashes behind
V2
She went driving down that canyon
She was running from the reasons why
He couldn’t bring himself to lover her
It was all there in black and white
And the fire on that mountain
Was like the fever in her soul
But there ain’t no explanation
For the chill that went right through her bones
CHORUS
There was fire on that mountain
Flames to kingdom come
Higher than the canyons
Hotter than the sun
She was burning for redemption
She must have lost her mind
Hearts on fire leave more than ashes behind
BRIDGE
She went raging down that mountain
She was driving blind
No skidmarks at the place where
She crossed the centre line
