[Verse 1]
I was thinkin' to myself this mornin'
Watchin' 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

[Chorus]
Yeah, Johnny, oh, Johnny, where did you go?
The devil's broke out of Georgia
And he's feastin' on our souls
There's fire on the mountain
And the flames are closin' in
So run get your fiddle, bow
And send him to hell again
Yeah, back to hell again
(Oh, oh whoa-oh)
(Oh, oh whoa)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I know redemption cometh
It's takin' way too long
Can't you see it in our faces?
Can't you hear it in our songs?
Yeah, we're holdin' on to hope
But we're hangin' by a thread
Won't you put on your rattlesnake boot
And crush that serpent head?
[Chorus]
Yeah, Johnny, oh, Johnny, where did you go?
The devil's broke out of Georgia
And he's feastin' on our souls
There's fire on the mountain
And the flames are closin' in
So run get your fiddle, bow
And send him to hell again
Yeah, back to hell again
Yeah up oh oh
Yeah up oh-whoa
Yeah, I say oh-whoa
Yeah up oh oh
Yeah up oh-whoa

[Bridge]
Oh whoa
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa
There's chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out bits
"Granny, does your dog bite these days?" "Yes" (Oh)
"Child, yes"

[Chorus]
And there’s fire on the mountain (On the moutain)
And the flames are closin' in (Ooh)
Run get your fiddle, bow
And send him to hell again
Yeah, back to hell again
(Yeah up oh oh
Yeah up oh-whoa)
Back to hell again
Yeah up oh oh
Yeah up oh-whoa
Fire on the mountain
Oh whoa
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh whoa
[Outro]
There's fire on the mountain
Run, boys, run
Yeah, the devil's in the house of the risin' sun
Waited all week to feel these tires a-humming
Just up ahead I see downtown a-coming
I got my buddy in back and his baby beside him
