Lyrics
[verse]
It?s 1949
In a cabin near the timberline
Where he brought his pretty wife
Together they carved a life
Her long black hair and dark brown eyes
Reflect the trees and the sky
In the winter of ?64
Workin? 24 hours or more
He passed away one night
And left her a lonely life
Now she hangs her head and wonders
Whatever happened to the thunder
[chorus]
Alone on Thunder Ridge
Alone on Thunder Ridge
Thunder Ridge
[verse]
Now every mornin? at 5
She wakes and opens her eyes
Dresses and does her hair
Knows her love will be there
Makes a table set for two
Plans the day and what they?ll do
Now thirty more years are spent
Workin? till her back is bent
The cabin is fallin? down
Watches over her mountain ground
She?ll tell you stories ?bout her life
But she won?t talk about that night
[chorus]
Alone on Thunder Ridge
Alone on Thunder Ridge
Thunder Ridge
