We had a taste on the wild frontier
And the Ponderosa trail
Where a thousand lights light up the night
Like a giant Christmas tree
Where the gasoline leaks reach to the skies
And the smoky chimney mountains
Black water give them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Black water give them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Black water give them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Where the cowboys don't ride horses
Round the misty crystal fountain
And all the chiefs and Indians
Smoking peace pipes in their chairs
In a ghost town by a river
I have kids stuck at home
Black water give them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Black water give them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
