I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF THIS MORNING
WATCHING MY BOYS PLAY
OF HOW DIFFERENT MY LIFE WAS WHEN I WAS THEIR AGE
NOW MACHINES CONTROL THE PEOPLE
AND THE PEOPLE SHOOT AT KIDS
I SHUTTER TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT THING IS

YEAH JOHNNY OH JOHNNY
WHERE DID YOU GO
THE DEVIL’S BROKE OUT OF GEORGIA
AND HE’S FEASTING ON OUR SOULS
THERE’S FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND THE FLAMES ARE CLOSING IN
SO RUN GET YOUR FIDDLE BOW
AND SEND HIM TO HELL AGAIN
YEAH BACK TO HELL AGAIN

YEAH I KNOW REDEMPTION COMETH
IT'S TAKING WAY TOO LONG
CAN’T YOU SEE IT IN OUR FACES
CAN’T YOU HEAR IT IN OUR SONGS
YEAH WE’RE HOLDING ON TO HOPE
BUT WE’RE HANGING BY A THREAD
WON’T YOU PUT ON YOUR RATTLESNAKE BOOT
AND CRUSH THAT SERPENT’S HEAD

YEAH JOHNNY OH JOHNNY
WHERE DID YOU GO
THE DEVIL’S BROKE OUT OF GEORGIA
AND HE’S FEASTING ON OUR SOULS
THERE’S FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND THE FLAMES ARE CLOSING IN
SO RUN GET YOUR FIDDLE BOW
AND SEND HIM TO HELL AGAIN
YEAH BACK TO HELL AGAIN

THERE’S CHICKEN IN A BREAD PAN PICKIN OUT BITS
GRANNY DOES YOUR DOG BITE THESE DAYS YES
CHILD YES
THERE’S FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND THE FLAMES ARE CLOSING IN
SO RUN GET YOUR FIDDLE BOW
AND SEND HIM TO HELL AGAIN
YEAH BACK TO HELL AGAIN

BACK TO HELL AGAIN
THERE’S FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

THERE’S FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN RUN BOYS RUN
YEAH THE DEVIL’S IN THE HOUSE WITH THE RISING SUN
