Payton Smith – Mountain On Fire Lyrics

Mountain On Fire Lyrics by Payton Smith

A quarter round and the first text comes in
Already paid her tie, about to bail out on her friends
Ten minutes from the houses, that you’ll be there in five
So I mix up the little catch-me-up and wait in that porch lights

She’ll be coming round that mountain, she’ll be coming in on fire
Halfway through the holler, I’ll be hearing whiskey myers
She’ll be walking through that screen door with the one thing on her mind
Leave the good girl on that front porch and a halo in the drive

Hold on, better hold on tight
When she’s coming round the mountain
She’ll be coming round the mountain on fire
Yeah, on fire
She’ll be coming round that mountain
She’ll be coming round that mountain on fire

I hope all these 8x10s and 2x4s are fastened
She’s bout to take a wreck and bought a me in this cabin
Can’t tell by how she’s talking, she’s already lit the matches
And I’m bracing myself for what’s about to happen

She’ll be coming round that mountain, she’ll be coming in on fire
Halfway through the holler, I’ll be hearing whiskey myers
She’ll be walking through that screen door with the one thing on her mind
Leave the good girl on that front porch and a halo in the drive

Hold on better hold on tight
She’s coming round the mountain
She’ll be coming round the mountain on fire
Yeah, on fire
She’ll be coming round that mountain
She’ll be coming round that mountain on fire

She’ll be coming in on fire
She’ll be coming in on fire

She’ll be coming round that mountain, she’ll be coming in on fire
Halfway through the holler, I’ll be hearing whiskey myers
She’ll be walking through that screen door with the one thing on her mind
Leave the good girl on that front porch and a halo in the drive

Hold on better hold on tight
She’s coming round the mountain
She’ll be coming round the mountain on fire
Yeah, on fire
She’ll be coming round that mountain
She’ll be coming round that mountain on fire

Yeah on fire
