  • 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

    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
    A-soakin' my soul in gas and settin' my heart on fire
    A heart on fire, a heart on fire
    A heart on fire

    I don't have a single second thought
    That doesn't have you in it
    Feel those flames again
    I'd go back in a New York minute (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
    A 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, yeah

    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
    Heart on fire, a heart on fire, a heart on fire
    A Heart on fire, fire
    A Heart on fire, heart, heart on fire
    A heart, a heart on fire
    A heart on, heart on fire

    Roosevelt road was too much for my old truck
    Yeah, she'd shake and she'd shimmy
    Like Elvis singin' "All Shook Up"
    A heart on fire, a heart on fire, a heart on fire Writer/s: Eric Church

  • Cee Are from Newport WaIt sounds like John Cougar Mellencamp's Paper and Fire from years ago. Listen to both of them. Mr. Mellencncamp should get some credit. I like Mr. Church.
  • Dennis Mcguire from Houston, TxWhat a great new catchy song. I liked it immediately. Reminds me of some of the best of John Mellencamp's songs, and what a kick it would be if Eric and John did a live duet of this song somewhere.
