High Lonesome

(альбом: Fiddle Fire - 25 Years Of The Charlie Daniels Band - 1998)

Just you and me and a little white pup
Sitting here waiting for the sun to come up
To keep the chill away
Drinking our coffee at the first crack of dawn
Watching 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

[CHORUS]
High Lonesome
God don't ever let this mountain change
High Lonesome
I hope you will always stay the same

Watching my summertimes turning to falls
Seeing 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

[CHORUS]
High Lonesome
God don't ever let this mountain change
High Lonesome
I hope you will always stay the same
