Lyrics

When I heard the man was out for blood
I left my home in shame
Rode out on a midnight rail
never come back again

Young boy face the world alone nowhere to run and hide

So I beat a man down for his gun strapped to my side
and I ride
Met a girl who said she'd love me till the day I die

She tasted just like honey and she held me through the night

But I caught her with another man down by the riverside

Now their bones are buried deep beneath the muddy water wide and I ride

Fire on the mountain,
Silver on the train

Lead in the pistol

and Whiskey in the veins
Hear That train screaming through the rocky mountain range
50 feet between us and I'm going to catch that train

My palms are getting sweaty
I'm breathing kind of wild
throat is pretty dusty and this horse is getting tired
racing with the engineer clear into the night he tried to stoke the coal I put three bullets in his side

Fire on the mountain,
Silver on the train

Lead in the pistol

and Whiskey in the veins
Hear That train screaming through the rocky mountain range
50 feet between us and I'm going to catch that train

They caught me in the hotel bar
that’s where I made my stand
six gun on the table and a whiskey in my hand

I tipped my hat and said so sorry that you're going to die
took a shot of courage and let the hot lead fly

Fire on the mountain,
Silver on the train

Lead in the pistol

and Whiskey in the veins
Hear That train screaming through the rocky mountain range
50 feet between us and I'm going to catch that train

I’m gonna ride like the wind
I’m gonna burn like the sun
I’m gonna fall like the rain
Let this life pass me by….I ride

I ride


Fire on the mountain,
Silver on the train

Lead in the pistol

and Whiskey in the veins
and I ride, I ride, I ride
