The Mountains

(Verse 1) Out in the West, where the mountains rise high And the rivers run wild and free There's a land of beauty, beneath the big sky That's calling my soul to be (Chorus) Oh, the Western mountains, they're calling my name With their peaks so tall and their valleys so deep I can hear their whispers, in the wind's soft refrain And I know I'll never be at peace Till I'm back in their keep (Verse 2) I've roamed the prairies, I've crossed the plains I've seen the deserts, and the ocean's wide expanse But there's no place on Earth, that can ease my pains Like the sight of those mountains, in their glorious stance (Chorus) Oh, the Western mountains, they're calling my name With their peaks so tall and their valleys so deep I can hear their whispers, in the wind's soft refrain And I know I'll never be at peace Till I'm back in their keep (Bridge) I've been lost in the city, I've been caught in the crowd I've been searching for something, that I couldn't quite find But now I know what I'm looking for, it's loud and it's proud It's the call of the mountains, deep in my mind (Chorus) Oh, the Western mountains, they're calling my name With their peaks so tall and their valleys so deep I can hear their whispers, in the wind's soft refrain And I know I'll never be at peace Till I'm back in their keep (Outro) So I'm heading back West, where I belong To the land of the mountains, where I'll sing my song And I'll never leave again, no matter how long For the Western mountains, are where I belong
