[Verse 1]
Fire on the mountain, smoke paints the sky
How did it happen? Never thought that I'd
Live to see the day the hills that bear my family name
Would go up in flames, go up in flames
[Chorus]
Lord, won't you send us down some water
Before the devil makes a hell of this holler?
Now, I've seen a million colors in that Virginia sunset
But I've never seen that Blue Ridge red, red
[Verse 2]
When I was younger, I knew I could run
Find me some peace in the piece of land I'm from
But what will I run to if all that's left for me
Are skeletons for trees, bones of memories?
[Chorus]
Lord, won't you send us down some water
Before the devil makes a hell of this holler?
Now, I've seen a million colors in that Virginia sunset
But I've never seen that Blue Ridge red, red
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
[Bridge]
Could've been a cigarette or a midnight lightning strike
But a season full of drought only takes a spark to light
I don't know how it started
I just want it to end
[Chorus]
Lord, won't you send us down some water
Before the devil makes a hell of this holler?
Lord, won't you send us down some water
Before the devil makes a hell of this holler?
Now, I've seen a million colors in that Virginia sunset
But I've never seen that Blue Ridge
Never seen that Blue Ridge red, red
[Outro]
Oh, red, red
Oh, red
