County Line Fire
County Line Fire
County Line Fire is a hard-driving, road-worn song about desire, restlessness and the kind of love that refuses to cool down.
With dust on his boots, trouble in the rearview and an engine carrying him through the night, the narrator keeps moving — but everything on the road seems to lead back to the same person. A porch light becomes a dare, another hard turn becomes an escape, and the county line marks the place where longing turns into something almost combustible.
The repeated “County line fire” chorus gives the song a simple, immediate hook, while the darker imagery underneath it paints a man caught somewhere between running away and turning around.
By the breakdown, the truth finally comes into focus: she may have started it, but he is the one who kept it burning.
A gritty, restless song built for headlights, two-lane blacktop and a heart running hotter than it should.

Lyrics
Dust on my boots
Cold beer in the hand
Two-lane ribbon
Cutting through this land
Your name in the visor
My heart on the dash
I been running hot
Burning up too fast
Hear that engine moan
Feel the night lean in
One more hard turn
And I’m gone again
Trouble in my rearview
Truth in my veins
If you want me now
Baby say my name
County line fire
County line fire
Burning through my bones
County line fire
County line fire
I can’t make it home
Neon on my shirt
Gravel in my teeth
I keep my promises
Mean as I keep my peace
Your porch light blinking
Like a dare in the dark
I know that look
It can leave a mark
Hear that engine moan
Feel the night lean in
One more hard turn
And I’m gone again
Trouble in my rearview
Truth in my veins
If you want me now
Baby say my name
County line fire
County line fire
Burning through my bones
County line fire
County line fire
I can’t make it home
I got hell in the headlights
And salt on my tongue
A busted old moon
And a heart full of drums
If I go down swinging
Let the whole town see
That you were the spark
And the flame was me
County line fire
County line fire
Burning through my bones
County line fire
County line fire
I can’t make it home
