Fire On The Mountain lyrics
Took my family away from our Carolina home*
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end
But so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
We were digging and shifting from five to five
Selling ev'rything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinning was the big thing, Lord
And Satan was the star
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Dance hall girls were the evening treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Waiting for me there
Took my family away from our Carolina home*
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
