high lonesome
charlie daniels band, the
just you and me and a little white pup
sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up
drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn
watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn
it's my favorite time of the day
god don't ever let this mountain change
i hope you will always stay the same
sometimes in the evening when everything's still
sweet mountain music floats over the hill
on a laurel-scented breeze
sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist
i think i might know where heaven is
it's just above the trees
god don't ever let this mountain change
i hope you will always stay the same
watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls
seein' my son growing honest and tall
if i live forever or i die today
all i would ask is you just let me lay
here on this mountainside
god don't ever let this mountain change
i hope you will always stay the same
