Backstory:
James, Troy and I got together for a co-write. We started throwing ideas and James had the idea of a guy getting in trouble for cheating when all he was doing was having a night out with the boys. We hit on the title Bonfire after we wrote the first verse and wrote the chorus to that hook.
Lyrics:
Bonfire
Troy Castellano (SESAC)| John Cirillo (ASCAP) | James Durbin (ASCAP)
It was a just little smoke, little whiskey
With some Church on the Radio
7-card stud till the sun came up
Being boys like the boys that you know
When I pulled up the drive
Saw that something ain’t right
Couldn’t believe my eyes
Chorus:
Cause I rolled up on a bonfire
Burning, turning
Every last thing I own
Into a bonfire
Ashes to ashes
Scattered all over the lawn
She must’ve been thinking
I was doing more than drinking
Cuz now she’s raising hell
Having herself a bonfire
You can’t unstrike those matches
As I’m watching that flame burn out
She’s making kindling out of my Gibson
She gone crazy now
Sitting there smiling on the front porch
With a Keystone light and a propane torch
Having..
Chorus
Bridge:
Well I pulled up the drive
Saw that something ain’t right
Still can’t believe my eyes
