Lyrics: Damon Price/Peyton James/Jane Bucker
Music: Flint Walker
I was born on a backroad, dust on my name
Hand-me-down dreams and a tank on E, yeah
They said “slow down, boy, play it safe”
But safe never lit no spark in me
Clock on the wall kept countin’ doubt
Small town talk tryin’ to box me in
But I heard that wind when it calls you out
Ain’t no holdin’ back once it pulls you in
I got one life, one shot, one ride
And I ain’t gonna watch it pass me by
We don’t wait, nah the fire don’t wait
Strike that match, let it burn, let it break
Hands up, whole crowd screamin’ our name
We come alive in the heat of the flame
We don’t stop, yeah we run through the night
No fear, no chains, just gasoline lights
If it’s gone tomorrow, we live it today
We don’t wait — nah the fire don’t wait
They can deal you cards you didn’t choose
Cold nights, hard roads, miles of blues
But I learned real quick what the wild ones do
You don’t fold your hand — you make your move
Every scar got a story to tell
Every fall’s just a step to the edge
I’d rather crash than live in a shell
With a heart half-beatin’ full of regret
No rewind, no pause, no grace
This moment’s all we got to take
We don’t wait, nah the fire don’t wait
Strike that match, let it burn, let it break
Hands up, whole crowd screamin’ our name
We come alive in the heat of the flame
We don’t stop, yeah we run through the night
No fear, no chains, just gasoline lights
If it’s gone tomorrow, we live it today
We don’t wait — nah the fire don’t wait
Hey! — Light it up, light it up Hey! — We ain’t ever givin’ up
Hey! — Turn it loud, feel the ground shake
We don’t wait, we don’t wait
(Oh-oh-oh) run it wild, run it free
(Oh-oh-oh) this is who we came to be
No regrets, no brakes
We don’t wait — nah the fire don’t wait
We don’t wait, nah the fire don’t wait
Let it rise, let it roar, let it rage
Voices up, let the whole world shake
We come alive in the heat of the flame
We don’t stop, yeah we run through the night
Stars above, yeah we’re chasing that high
If it’s gone tomorrow, we live it today
We don’t wait — nah the fire don’t wait
Yeah, if it’s gone tomorrow, we live it today…
We don’t wait — nah the fire don’t wait
