Heart on FireEric Church

Released: January 29, 2021

Songwriter: Eric Church

Producer: Jay Joyce

[Verse 1]
Roosevelt Road was too rough for my old truck
Yeah, she’d shake and she’d shimmy like Elvis singin’ “All Shook Up”
But you can’t blame a boy for going, drive it like you stole it fast
With your window down, brown hair, blowin’ look at me like that

[Chorus]
A turned up radio but the static was heavy
Couldn’t make out any words but “take me to the levee”
That look on your face was full of wild desire
Soakin’ my soul in gas and settin’ my heart on fire
Heart on fire, heart on fire, heart on fire

[Verse 2]
I don’t have a single second thought that doesn’t have you in it
To feel those flames again, I go back in a New York minute
I miss the freedom of you dancing on the bow of your daddy’s old boat
When my spirit starts sinkin’ that picture always makes it float baby

We weren’t old enough to drink but we damn sure did it
Hat turned backward singin’ “Paradise City”
That look on your face was full of young desire
Soakin’ my soul in gas and settin’ my heart on fire
Heart on fire

[Chorus]
Turned up radio but the static was heavy
Couldn’t make out any words but “take me to the levee”
That look on your face was full of wild desire
Soakin’ my soul in gas and settin’ my heart on fire
Heart on fire, heart on fire, heart on fire

[Outro]
Roosevelt Road was too rough for my old truck
Yeah, she’d shake and she’d shimmy like Elvis singin’ “All Shook Up”
Heart on fire, heart on fire, heart on fire

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
