Bang-Bang Lucky Strike — Scarlett Sky

From the album Everybody Loves Money

He went north looking for gold and ended up carrying dynamite.

Bang-Bang Lucky Strike follows a broke prospector who washes gravel, finds nothing, joins a powder crew, and accidentally blasts open the kind of hillside every sourdough dreams about.

Pay dirt, high-grading, nuggets in boots, mother lodes, claim staking, wash plants, bacon, picks, and one very profitable explosion.

“Bang-bang—lucky strike,
Blew that mountain open wide.”

The best part is that he does not stop at finding gold. By spring he owns the claim beside it. By June he owns two more. Soon he is selling supplies to the next wave of men arriving with pans, prayers, and the certainty that fortune is waiting upstream.

A hard-driving Scarlett Sky gold-rush song about luck, dynamite, business, and the beautiful moment when a mountain suddenly starts paying.
