[Verse 1]
When I was just a boy
We lived on the side of a mountain
Right near the vale of a waterfall
When I was just a boy
We lived in a one-room cabin
One room full of love and that was all
That was all

[Chorus]
Way back up on Soapstone Mountain
Way up high where the spirits run free
Way back up on Soapstone Mountain
What a wonderful place to raise a little family

[Verse 2]
And in the morning mist
We would climb to the top of that mountain
And lie in blue pools all covered with green
As if we've just been kissed
On the eyes by the tears of Jesus
A more beautiful sight I've never seen
What a beautiful scene

[Chorus]
Way back up on Soapstone Mountain
Way up high — why, it was heavenly
Way back up on Soapstone Mountain
What a wonderful place for you and me
[Bridge]
You don't have to climb a mountain
You don't have to swim the sea
You don't have to build white towers
You are as happy as you see

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Way back up on Soapstone Mountain
Way up high where the spirits run free
Way back up on Soapstone Mountain
What a beautiful day for you and me
