SAHARA movie - Fire on the Mountain lyrics

rate me

Song by The Marshall Tucker Band<br /><br>

Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home <br>

Had dreams about the West and started to roam <br>

Six long months on a dust covered trail <br>

They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell <br>

And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air <br>

Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there <br>

<br>

We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five<br>

Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive<br>

Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars<br>

Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star <br>

And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air <br>

Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there <br>

<br>

Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat<br>

Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street<br>

Men were shot down for the sake of fun<br>

Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns<br>

And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air<br>

Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there<br>

<br>

Now my widow she weeps by my grave<br>

Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save<br>

Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame<br>

All for a useless and no good worthless claim<br>

<br>

And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air<br>

Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there<br>

Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air<br>

Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there<br>

Waitin' for me there<br>
