[Verse 1: Wilder Adkins]
I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
And go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
And I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

[Chorus 1: Wilder Adkins with Molly Parden]
You can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Verse 2: Wilder Adkins with Molly Parden]
Messages getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
Check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
And I ain't getting nowhere
Man, I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

[Chorus 1: Wilder Adkins with Molly Parden]
You can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Bridge: Wilder Adkins with Molly Parden]
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere, it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

[Verse 3: Wilder Adkins with Molly Parden]
Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
Sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on, baby, give me just one look

[Outro: Wilder Adkins with Molly Parden]
You can't start a fire
Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
