Lyrics
Verse 1
I don’t need a convoyI don’t need a crowdI can light my own wayIf you push me too loudOne sharp word, one sly grinAnd I’m done playin’ niceI don’t burn for attentionI burn once, then I ride
Pre‑Chorus
You can test that temperBut you better do it right’Cause I ain’t a slow emberI go up in one night
Chorus
One match wildfireThat’s all it takesOne match wildfireAnd I’ll clear the placeI don’t chase, I don’t begI don’t stay for the lieOne match wildfireThen I’m gone in the sky (gone in the sky)
Verse 2
I’ve seen pretty promisesFall flat in the dustSeen big talkin’ cowboysTurn to nothin’ I can trustSo I keep my boots onAnd my back to the doorIf you come in disrespectfulYou won’t come back no more
Pre‑Chorus
You can call me stubbornCall me hard to pleaseBut I’m just a womanWho knows when to leave
Chorus
One match wildfireThat’s all it takesOne match wildfireAnd I’ll clear the placeI don’t chase, I don’t begI don’t stay for the lieOne match wildfireThen I’m gone in the sky (gone in the sky)
Bridge
I’ve got a heart like dry grassIn a hot July windCross me once and you’ll seeHow fast my mercy endsI ain’t a pretty warningI’m a lesson you can’t holdBy the time you smell the smokeI’m already road-dust cold
Chorus
One match wildfireThat’s all it takesOne match wildfireAnd I’ll clear the placeI don’t chase, I don’t begI don’t stay for the lieOne match wildfireThen I’m gone in the sky (gone in the sky)
