Fire On The Mountain

In the style of

The Marshall Tucker Band

Lyrics

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 till five
sellin' everything
we found
just to stay alive

gold flowed free
like the whiskey
in the bar
sinning was
the big thing lord and
satan was the 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 lines
the good earth
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
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

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