🔥 About the Song
Welcome to Bonfire — a foot-stomping, southern-country melody from The Christian Cowboy Life. This song is all about gathering together, celebrating small-town pride, and living wild and free under the stars. Whether you’re two-stepping, tailgating, or just enjoying a southern night by the fire, it’s a reminder that the best moments are often the simplest—community, laughter, and a blazing fire.
🕊️ “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
💬 Behind the Song
Bonfire was inspired by the rowdy joy of small-town gatherings—where music, friendship, and a roaring fire light up the night. Just like a bonfire brings warmth to everyone around it, music has a way of drawing people closer together. It’s got a little grit, a whole lotta joy, and the kind of southern fire that stirs up the cowboy heart.

Let this truth ride with you: joy, laughter, and music are gifts from the Lord that light our darkest nights brighter than any fire ever could.
Lyrics
Intro:
Gather 'round, folks, listen here,
I got a story 'bout our town, you need to hear.
It’s about a party like nothing you’ve seen.
A southern bonfire, a small town scene.
Verse 1:
Down yonder in the holler where them cornfields grow,
We gather 'round the bonfire, just to watch that glow.
Got jacked-up trucks with tailgates down,
Coolers full of beer, passin' 'round some crown.
Chorus:
At the bonfire is where we come alive,
A time y'all can't miss, 'neath this southern sky.
Country folk gatherin' from all 'round,
Just follow that glow, that's where we're found.
Verse 2:
Smoke rollin’, in the air,
Passin' it around without a care.
Them daisy dukes and cut-off jeans,
sundresses flowing,
This sight is obscene.
Verse 3:
Moonshine flowing, guitars strummin' loud,
Rednecks dancing, beneath the cloud.
Truck beds rockin', under the moon's glow,
In our small town, where the wild ones go.
Chorus:
At the bonfire is where we come alive,
A time y'all can't miss, 'neath this southern sky.
Country folk gatherin' from all 'round,
Just follow that glow, that's where we're found.
Verse 4:
Stars up above, shining bright,
Bonfire burnin', through the night.
Southern nights, filled with cheer,
In our town, we'll always be here.
Bridge:
Southern heat, red dirt roads,
Bonfire nights, never get old.
Chorus:
At the bonfire is where we come alive,
A time y'all can't miss, 'neath this southern sky.
Country folk gatherin' from all 'round,
Just follow that glow, that's where we're found.
Outro:
'Til next time, y'all, 'round the fire we'll be,
Southern nights, wild and free.
In our town, where the party's right,
Bonfire blazin', under the starlit night.
