High on a Hilltop (1966) Songtext
von Merle Haggard

High on a hilltop overlooking the city
I can see the bright lights as they gleam
And somewhere you′re dancing
In some dingy barroom
And the lure of the gayness
Takes the place of our dream

High on a hilltop, my heart cries, oh, Lord
Forgive her, she knows not the way
And give me the power to believe, and someday
High on a hilltop, together we'll pray


I can vision a rounder
With a line so smooth
With a promise of riches for you
But you see not the danger
′Cause you're silly with booze
And from high on a hilltop
I see the devil in you

High on a hilltop, my heart cries, oh, Lord
Forgive her, she knows not the way
And give me the power to believe, and someday
High on a hilltop, together we'll pray
