Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song for my wife, Amy Lynn. Truly, she is a HOUSE ON FIRE! I love this imagery from the beginning of the song. "Some girls sparkle cold and clear, like stars in the winter sky. Some girls barely shine at all, like an ember about to die."

Lyrics
Some girls sparkle cold and clear, like stars in the winter sky
Some girls barely shine at all, like an ember about to die
But I saw a girl who's a roarin' flame and hotter than a butane torch
When she walks by best avert your eyes and run before you're scorched
She's a house on fire; she's a house on fire!
She's a house on fire; what's your name pretty flame?
Looks just like a movie star burnin' up the silver screen
Lord she's got that classic look, curvaceous, tall and lean
She's a hunk-a, hunk-a burnin' love, and this girl can't be bought
But let me chime just-a one more time, the chick is freakin' hot
She's a house on fire; she's a house on fire!
She's a house on fire; what's your name pretty flame?
Hair the color of the sun
Fusion power, burn you son
When she goes walkin' down the street
The pavement's meltin' 'neath her feet
Some girls sparkle cold and clear, like stars in the winter sky
Some girls barely shine at all, like an ember about to die
But I saw a girl who's a roarin' flame and hotter than a butane torch
When she walks by best avert your eyes and run before you're scorched
She's a house on fire; she's a house on fire!
She's a house on fire; what's your name pretty flame?
