The Promised - I Ride

Fire on the mountain
Silver on the train
Lead in the pistol
Whiskey in the veins

(Hoo haa hoo haa)

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 (oo ooo oo ooo ooo oo)
And I ride

Met a girl who said she love me till the day I die
Tasted just like honey and she held me through the night
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
Whiskey in the veins
Hear the engine screaming through the Rocky Mountain range
There's 50 feet between us and I'm gonna catch that train

My palms are getting sweaty
I am 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
Whiskey in the veins
Hear the engine screaming through the Rocky Mountain range
50 feet between us and I'm gonna catch that train

I'm gonna ride like the wind (hoo haa)
I'm gonna burn like the sun (hoo haa)
I'm gonna fall like the rain (hoo haa)
Let this life pass me by... I ride

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 (oooooo)
Tipped my hat and said so sorry that you're gonna die
Took a shot of courage and let the hot lead fly

Fire on the mountain,
Silver on the train
Lead in the pistol
Whiskey in the veins
Hear the engine screaming through the Rocky Mountain range
There's 50 feet between us and I'm gonna catch that train

Fire on the mountain
Silver on the train
Lead in the pistol
Whiskey in the veins

I Ride (I ride) I ride (I ride) I ride
