Joe Ely Lyrics
"Up on the Ridge"

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 the 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

Up on the ridge, there's a highway headin' home
Where the ramblin' men must leave their sin
Up on the ridge, yeah
