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
