Lyrics
WE STARTED A FIRE

I PASSED A SIGN ON THE INTERSTATE
THAT I HADN'T SEEN IN YEARS
I'D BEEN GONE SO LONG I HAD FORGOTTEN
BUT IT ALL CAME BACK SO CLEAR
WE WERE YOUNG AND WILD AND RESTLESS
THE SUMMER THAT WE MET
AND LOOKIN' BACK NOW I WONDER
HOW COULD I EVER FORGET
WE STARTED A FIRE, THE WHOLE TOWN WAS TALKIN' ABOUT
WE STARTED A FIRE, AND IT NEVER REALLY GOT PUT OUT
OH I HAVE NEVER MET ANOTHER,
WHO MADE THE FLAME BURN ANY BRIGHTER
THEN THE WAY IT BURNED BACK WHEN WE STARTED A FIRE
YOU WERE INTO ROCK AND ROLL
I WAS INTO RHYTHM AND BLUES
WE WORE OUT THAT TEN CENT JUKEBOX
WEARIN' OUT OUR DANCIN' SHOES
WE THOUGHT WE'D BE TOGETHER FOREVER
BUT THOSE PLANS WE MADE FELL THROUGH
WE WERE ONLY KIDS BACK THEN
WHAT WERE WE SUPPOSED TO DO
CHORUS
