Up on the Ridge I seen a rider passin' by
Up on the Ridge I seen a rider passin' by
I heard thunder in the distance
I seen lightning in his eye
Up on the Ridge I gotta tangle with my fate
Up on the Ridge I gotta tangle with my fate
Details must be dealt with
before the hour gets too late
Up on the Ridge there's a highway headin' home
Where the ramblin' men must leave their sin
Up on the Ridge
Up on the Ridge there's a fire about to burn
Up on the Ridge there's a fire about to burn
When the sun sets on the Lowlands, only one of us will return
Up on the Ridge there's a highway headin' home
Where the ramblin' men must leave their sin
Up on the Ridge
