Fire On the Cross

Fire On the Cross - Bruce Hornsby & the Range

They're looking for some hired guns on the texas border

To shoot 'em all down if they try to 'cross over the water water

And they've got their old white hoods and the same old orders order

To keep the dark sons away away from their daughters daughters

The nights they came on horses

Are long gone with the wind

Now they're passing out the torches

And they're coming back again

There's a shotgun blast

There's a secret sign

It's not a candle burning and it's not a sunday night

There's a fire on the 'cross

There's a fire on the 'cross tonight

Tonight

There wasn't any sound but it felt like sudden thunder

Two boards nailed together and burning bright

He was walking by the window when he saw it

Now he wonders

Just what he's got to do to make him see

He just want to be brothers

The nights they came on horses

Are long gone with the wind

Now they're passing out the torches

And they're coming back again

There's a shotgun blast

There's a secret sign

It's not a candle burning and it's not a sunday night

There's a fire tonight

There's a fire on the 'cross tonight tonight

The nights they came on horses

Are long gone with the wind

They're passing out the torches

They're coming back again

There's a shotgun blast

There's a secret sign

It's not a candle burning it's not a sunday night

There's a fire on the 'cross

There's a fire on the 'cross tonight

Tonight
