High on the Mountain

[Verse] Woke up this mornin', sun was risin' low, Grabbed my six-string, bus fare to the show. Lit up a cigarette, but it burned too fast, Struck a match on memories of the past. [Verse 2] Stopped by Johnny's, picked up somethin' sweet, Rolling through the backroads, hear the gravel meet my feet. Every puff I take just lifts me off the ground, Lookin' for a way to come back down. [Chorus] High on the mountain, can't see the valley low, Lost in the clouds where the cool winds blow. Climbin' up higher, I can't seem to find, A way to bring these feet back down to the lines. [Verse 3] Stars are twinklin', dancin' in the sky, Eagles are flyin', and so am I. The moon is shinin', all polished and bright, Guess there's no returnin' from this flight tonight. [Verse 4] Met an old friend, he was glidin' by, Said, "Man, you're floatin', aim for the southern sky." Laughed and said, "Buddy, I'm tryin' to turn around, But this ol' heart just keeps chasing the sound." [Chorus] High on the mountain, can't see the valley low, Lost in the clouds where the cool winds blow. Climbin' up higher, I can't seem to find, A way to bring these feet back down to the lines.
