Just you and me and a little white pup
Sittin` here waiting for the sun to come up
To keep the chill away
Drinkin` our coffee at the first crack of dawn
Watchin` a doe while she nuzzles her fawn
It`s my favorite time of the day
CHORUS:
High Lonesome
God don`t ever let this mountain change
High Lonesome
I hope you will always stay the same
Sometimes in the evening when everything`s still
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill
On a laurel-scented breeze
Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist
I think I might know where heaven is
It`s just above the trees
REPEAT CHORUS
Watchin` my summertimes turnin` to falls
Seein` my song growing honest and tall
Keeps me satisfied
If I live forever or I die today
All I would ask is you just let me lay
Here on this mountainside
REPEAT CHORUS
