Loretta Lynn
High on a Mountain Top
[Chorus]
High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world's like a little bitty spot
I ain't coming down, no, never, I'm not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
[Verse 1]
Where I come from, the mountain flowers grow wild
The bluegrass sways like it's goin' out of style
God fearing people, simple and real
'Cause up on the ridge, folks, that's the deal
[Verse 2]
Well my daddy worked down in the dark coal mines
Shoveling that coal one shovel at a time
Never made a lot money, didn't have much
But we're high on life and rich in love
[Chorus]
High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world's like a little bitty spot
I ain't coming down, no, never, I'm not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
[Verse 3]
Well down in the holler lived my uncle Joe
He'd pull out his fiddle and rosin his bow
We'd all sing and dance and we ain't gonna stop
When the moonshine flows behind every rock
[Chorus]
High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world's like a little bitty spot
I ain't coming down, no, never, I'm not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
[Bridge]
Well we lay on our backs and we count the stars
'Cause up here, folks, heaven's not that far
[Chorus]
High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world's like a little bitty spot
I ain't coming down, no, never, I'm not
High on a mountain top
[Outro]
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
