Mountain Song (Del McCoury)

Way up on the mountain In the sweet southern air Is where I seem to lose loads I have to bear Silence of the snow fall and the peacefulness around I feel so blessed with all that I have found I feel so blessed with all that I have found Holler in the moonlight Sip the mountain shine The sound of the music playin' Everything so fine Lookin' up a trail for a sign as I travel there A liquor still, an old deer trail, or the home of a big old bear Wouldn't wanna mess with him because it is his home He's like me he's better left alone He's like me he's better left alone Fishin' in the river at the bottom of these hills Helps me find my peace of mind In all these natural frills These mountains were the first to show their face up to the sky Lay me to rest here when I die Lay me to rest here when I die
