Fire On The Mountain Lyrics - Searchin' For A Rainbow - The Marshall Tucker Band

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 

Lightening in the air 

Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there 

We were digging and shifting from five to five 

Selling everything we found just to stay alive 

Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars 

Sinning was the big thin Lord 

And Satan was the star

And there's fire on the mountain 

Lightening 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 

Men were shot down for the sake of fun 

Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns 

And there's fire on the mountain 

Lightening 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 

Lightening in the air 

Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

Fire on the mountain 

Lightening in the air 

Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there 

Waiting for me there
