It's quite a life up in these hills, up here on the mountain.
There's nothing like an old dirt
road to keep the mind from counting.
Take care not to lose your way,
or you might not make it back,
and here's to those who find
their way and never go back.
Capo IV
Am - E E7 :|| (4x)
There's
nothing like a life up on the mountain!
You
can take it or leave it, but if you leave, then I'll be doubting
that
you've seen all there is to see.
Oh,
you might want to take another look before you leave.
F C E7 Am :|| (3x)
F C G - E - Am -
Up here in these heights, it's a
world away from time,
and for the most part the law
can't pay it any mind.
In the quiet of these hills a
mind can roam free.
Out here there's nothing between
this old world and me.
Every day's another step closer
to the grave.
You can bow your head and fold
your hands, just sit around and pray,
but you might be missing a lot of
life as you wait for Judgment Day.
Oh, I'm not trying to look down
on you or tell you what to do.
I just hope you make the most of
this life before it's through.
Capo up to VI for final verse and
chorus
