FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

Marshal Tucker Band

Took my family away from my 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,
lightnin' in the air

gold in them hills
and it's waitin' for me there

We were diggin' and siftin'
from five to five

sellin' everything we found
just to stay alive

gold flowed free like the
whiskey in the bars

sinnin' was the big thing,
Lord and Satan was his star

And there's fire on the mountain,
lightnin' in the air
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood
lined the gutters of the street

Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise
of their forty four guns

And there's fire on the mountain,
lightnin' in the air
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man
that 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,
lightnin' in the air
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

And there's fire on the mountain,
lightnin' in the air
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

waitin' for me there
