Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pulled into town with the sun in my rearview,
Dust on my boots and the past in my mirror too.
Ain't lookin' for trouble but it knows my name,
Been runnin' from love, but it catches up anyway.

[Pre-Chorus]
She's a wildfire kiss, I'm a lit cigarette,
Every time we touch, we burn what's left.

[Chorus]
We're wreckage and whiskey, heartache and heat,
Crashin' through midnight on a backroad beat.
We don't say forever, we just ride the flame,
Two loaded hearts in a runaway game.
She's my bad idea in a leather dress,
I'm her maybe baby in a worn-out mess.
Wreckage and whiskey -- we don't love safe.

[Verse 2]
She sings to the jukebox like she owns the place,
Spins me 'round the floor with a smirk on her face.
She's all tattoos, wild eyes, no brakes,
Got a kiss like a dare and a soul that aches.

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a shot too deep, she's a scar too sweet,
And when we collide, we forget to sleep.

[Chorus]
We're wreckage and whiskey, heartache and heat,
Crashin' through midnight on a backroad beat.
We don't say forever, we just ride the flame,
Two loaded hearts in a runaway game.
She's my bad idea in a leather dress,
I'm her maybe baby in a worn-out mess.
Wreckage and whiskey -- we don't love safe.

[Bridge]
We ain't perfect, but we fit just right,
Like a broken match sparking up the night.
No promises, no white-picket plan,
Just a hell of a fire in a one-night stand.

[Final Chorus]
We're wreckage and whiskey, wild and unclean,
Tangled up dreams in a smoke-stained scene.
We don't need forever, we just need now,
Let the world burn -- we'll work it out somehow.
She's a heartbreak hymn I'll always crave,
And I'm the ghost she'll ride 'til the break of day.
Wreckage and whiskey -- yeah, that's our way.
