[Chorus:]

High on a mountain top

We live, we love, and we laugh a lot

Folks up here know what they got

High on a mountain top

High on a mountain top



Where the rest of the world's

Like 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 the mountain flowers grow wild

The blue grass sways like it's goin out of style

God fearin' people simple and real

'Cause up on the ridge folks that's the deal

Well my daddy worked down in the dark coal mine

Shovelin' that coal one shovel at a time

Never made a lot money din't have much

But we're high on life and rich in love



[Chorus]



Well down in the holler lived my uncle Joe

He'd pull out his fiddle and rosin his bow

We'd all sing and dance

And we ain't gonna stop

When the moon shine flows behind every rock



[Chorus]



Well we lay on our backs and we count the stars

'cause up here folks heaven's not that far



[Chorus]



High on a mountain top

High on a mountain top
