Lyrics
Verse 1 Bottle smashed loud, barroom turned to hell, Knuckles flew fast ‘neath a neon spell. Whiskey burned hot, boots scuffed the floor, Dodged a right hook, then I saw you by the door. Chorus Fistfights and firelight, hearts runnin’ wild, Chaos and your eyes cut through like a child. From a busted-up night to a spark that won’t fade, Darlin’, our love was a barroom crusade. Verse 2 Jukebox wailed a lonesome rebel tune, Blood on my lip, but I caught your moon. You tossed me a grin, like a dare wrapped in lace, Stole my fightin’ soul with that angel’s face. Chorus Fistfights and firelight, hearts runnin’ wild, Chaos and your eyes cut through like a child. From a busted-up night to a spark that won’t fade, Darlin’, our love was a barroom crusade. Bridge Broken chairs and whiskey stains, Outlaw hearts don’t feel no chains. Through the smoke and the sin, we carved our own way, Turned a brawl into forever that day. Chorus Fistfights and firelight, hearts runnin’ wild, Chaos and your eyes cut through like a child. From a busted-up night to a spark that won’t fade, Darlin’, our love was a barroom crusade. Outro Now we dance slow where the jukebox hums, From fistfights to firelight, our battle’s won.
