[Verse 1]
Em Took my family away from myC Carolina home
Em Had dreams about the West andC started to roam
Em Six long months on a Cdust covered trail
Em They say heaven's at the end but so Cfar it's been hell
[Chorus]
And there'sG fire on the mountain, Dlightning in the air
Am Gold in them hills and it's Cwaiting for me Emthere
C Em C
[Verse 2]
Em We were digging and siftingC from five to five
Em Selling everything we found Cjust to stay alive
Em Gold flowed free like the Cwhiskey in the bars
Em Sinning was the big thing, lord andC Satan was his star
[Chorus]
And there'sG fire on the mountain, Dlightning in the air
Am Gold in them hills and it's Cwaiting for me Emthere

Em Dance hall girls were theC evening treat
Em Empty cartridges and blood lined the Cgutters of the street
Em Men were shot down for theC sake of fun
Em Or just to hear the noise of theirC fortyfour guns
[Chorus]
And there'sG fire on the mountain, Dlightning in the air
Am Gold in them hills and it's Cwaiting for me Emthere

Em Now my widow sheC weeps by my grave
Em Tears flow free for her manC she couldn't save
Em Shot down in cold blood by a Cgun that carried fame
Em All for a useless and no goodC worthless claim
[Chorus]
And there'sG fire on the mountain, Dlightning in the air
Am Gold in them hills and it's Cwaiting for me Gthere
Fire on the mountain, Dlightning in the air
Am Gold in them hills and it's Cwaiting for me Emthere
[Outro]
