climb that mountain high

red sun a-rising

over the hill

i've had enough of this desert to last from now until

i'm tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth

this could be the day i finally find my way out

i'm gonna climb that mountain high

i'm gonna see what's on the other side

i'm gonna kiss this town good-bye

i'm gonna climb that mountain

how i arrived here

heaven only knows

seems more like the kind of place the devil would've chose

to spend my life here

is more than i can do

i know somewhere down the road my dream will come true

i'm gonna climb that mountain high

i'm gonna see what's on the other side

i'm gonna kiss this town good-bye

i'm gonna climb that mountain

if i stay here forever

what will i have to show

but if i make it over

then everyone will know

i'm gonna climb that mountain high

i'm gonna climb that mountain high

i'm gonna see what's on the other side

i'm gonna kiss this town good-bye

i'm gonna climb that mountain
