FIRE ON THE CAROLINA MOUNTAIN

A sunset walk on Sunset Trail, and Marshall Tucker.

Fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills
Waiting for me there

What makes a man do the things they do?

A rich man will illness came to the Carolina Mountains.

He joined others there, but there had to be more than getting well

I’d bet that anyone who saw the sunset on Sunset Trail walking Sunset Mountain would have the same response as malaria fighter E.W. Grove: I want to buy this land and build a huge resort to help people who suffer.

Marshall Tucker Band had to see this when they wrote Fire On The Mountain.

Took my fam’ly away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven’s at the end but so far it’s been hell
And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin’ in the air
Gold in them hills and it’s waitin’ for me there
