High on a Mountain Top Songtext
von Nanci Griffith

High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on the mountain top

High on a mountain top
The rest of the world′s just a little bitty spot
I ain't comin′ down, no, never I'm not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top

Where I come from 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

Well, my daddy worked down in the dark coal mines
Shoveling coal one shovel at a time
Never made a lot of money, didn′t have much
High on life and rich on love


High on a mountain top
We live, we love, and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what we got
High on the mountain top

High on a mountain top
The rest of the world's just a little bitty spot
I ain′t comin' down, no, never I′m not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top

Well, we lay on our backs, and we count the stars
'Cause up here folks, heaven's not that far

Down in the holler lived my Uncle Joe
He′d pull out his fiddle and rosin his bow
We′d all sing and dance, we ain't gonna stop
The moonshine glows behind every rock

High on a mountain top
We live, we love and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what we got
High on the mountain top


High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world′s just a little bitty spot
I ain't comin′ down, no, never I'm not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top

High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
