(Verse 1)

I’m standin’ at the door in this smoky neon glow,

Checkin’ IDs, watchin’ folks come and go.

Boots on the floor, got a heart made of steel,

But there’s a girl on that stage, makin’ my soul feel.

She twirls in the spotlight, with a smile bittersweet,

Dancin’ to the jukebox, movin’ to the beat.

(Chorus)

She’s a wildfire burnin’ under them red lights,

Stealin’ my heart in the dead of the night.

I’m just a bouncer, keepin’ trouble at bay,

But she’s the one I’m dreamin’ of takin’ away.

In this strip club haze, where the lonely hearts roam,

I’m fallin’ for a dancer, prayin’ she’ll call me home.

(Verse 2)

I’ve hauled hay in the summer, broke my back in the rain,

Fought for every dollar, carried my share of pain.

But when she sways on that stage, the world fades away,

Her eyes lock on mine, and I don’t know what to say.

She’s got dreams of leavin’, a life beyond this town,

And I’m prayin’ she’ll let me lift her up, not drag her down.

(Chorus)

She’s a wildfire burnin’ under them red lights,

Stealin’ my heart in the dead of the night.

I’m just a bouncer, keepin’ trouble at bay,

But she’s the one I’m dreamin’ of takin’ away.

In this strip club haze, where the lonely hearts roam,

I’m fallin’ for a dancer, prayin’ she’ll call me home.

(Bridge)

Late nights, we talk when the crowd’s gone away,

She tells me ‘bout her heart, and the price that she pays.

I ain’t got much, just a truck and a prayer,

But I’d give her my world if she’d let me take her there.

With every spin she takes, I’m fallin’ more each night,

Wanna trade these neon lights for a porch swing’s soft light.

(Chorus)

She’s a wildfire burnin’ under them red lights,

Stealin’ my heart in the dead of the night.

I’m just a bouncer, keepin’ trouble at bay,

But she’s the one I’m dreamin’ of takin’ away.

In this strip club haze, where the lonely hearts roam,

I’m fallin’ for a dancer, prayin’ she’ll call me home.

(Outro)

So I’ll stand at this door, ‘til she’s ready to go,

Holdin’ onto a dream that only my heart knows.

In this world of whiskey and late-night goodbyes,

I’m a hard-workin’ man, lovin’ her spark in those eyes.
