Lyrics

Way out east on the wild frontier and the Ponderosa Trail
Where a thousand lights light up the night like a giant Christmas tree
Where the gasoline lakes reach to the skies
Of the smoky chimney mountains
Black water gave them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Black water gave them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Black water gave them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Where the coyboys 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 gave them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Black water gave them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Black water gave them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Breathing steel and stone
Black water gave them gold and silver
Now they're breathing steel and stone
