Mountain Pass

(album: High Country Snows - 1985)

Well, I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me.
This highway ain't the very best companion,
'cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be.

The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
'Bout the way your smile shines upon your face.
And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking
Before I reach my final resting place
Oh, I...

...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping,
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made,
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishing I was in your arms again.

Oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain,
I finally crossed the Archuleta line.
Another hour and I'll be with my darling
To dry those lonesome tears that she's been crying
But I...

...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping,
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made,
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishing I was in your arms again.

I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me.
This highway ain't the very best companion,
'cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be.
Oh, I...

...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping,
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made,
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishing I was in your arms again.

I am running down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishing I was in your arms again.
