The Bootstrap Boys - Fire on the Mountain (Grateful Dead Bluegrass Cover) at Buttermilk Jamboree!

Get down in the holler with The Bootstrap Boys' foot-stompin' bluegrass rendition of the Grateful Dead classic, "Fire on the Mountain!" 🪕
We took this psychedelic anthem deep into the labyrinth at Circle Pines Center during the Buttermilk Jamboree Festival for a one-of-a-kind performance. Hear the Dead's electrifying lyrics reimagined with a soulful bluegrass twist, featuring pickin' banjos, wailin' guitars, and tight harmonies that'll have you tappin' your boots.

Lyrics
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete
If Mercy's a business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for?
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
To the thin line beyond, which you really can't fake
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
