lyrics

Up on this mountain
I’m searching for something
that I cannot hold

Up in my mind
I’m hoping to find
something I cannot know

Chorus:
I’ll take the long way home
to see how far I’ve gone
and how much
there still is to know

Far from the place
I was born and raised
I find myself
searching for a home

Further along
that old country song
is gonna call me
back to all I’ve known

Chorus


After all this time
there’s still one thing
etched in my mind
just a passing phrase
may you live your days
my child

Close to me you sleep
your restless heartbeat
the rhythm of
this song for you

Close to me I pray
sweet mama, you’ll stay
so that I might
grow old with you

Chorus
Chorus
