Umpteen Miles (Shaw Tommy)

My daddy died upon this mountain Spent his life working with his hands Made his pay fair by hole and flat rock From up here on the back side of his land When I was 10 he took me to the quarry Taught me things I never will forget He showed no fear when he walked along the high side Far above that rocky river bead It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it It's umpteen miles to the... time When you're umpteen miles high you can't back down in It's umpteen miles down the bottom rock Times may have changed but not this mountain All these years it stood there all alone I passed the torch... now it's up to you son To make your mark upon this stone mass stone It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it It's umpteen miles to the... time When you're umpteen miles high you can't back down in It's umpteen miles down the bottom rock It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it It's umpteen miles to the... time When you're umpteen miles high you can't back down in It's umpteen miles down the bottom rock It's umpteen miles down the bottom rock.
