up on the mountain
caught on the rail line
up on the mountain
caught on the rail line
my brother
let the heart just beat
drink your wine
smoke your weed
my brother
let the heart still beat
and wear your silver lining
wear it close to your skin
but if it's the drugs
the women
the wine
the weed
the love that took everything i own
just take it all
oh oh
and tell the ones you love you love them
teach only what you know
and oh
you better know it well
we drove from coast to coast
down in new orleans
where the levees broke 'cause
you were tripping
i was driving
you were running
i was hiding
and you know i know how that feels
don't get cheated kid
just swing from your heels
and if you get carried away
let the music play you through the pain
and wear that silver lining
wear it close to your skin
but if it's the drugs
the women
the wine
the weed
the love that took everything i own
just take it all
oh oh
and tell the ones you love you love them
teach only what you know
and oh
you better know it well
up on the mountain
caught on the rail line
up on the mountain
caught on the rail line
