We talked 'bout leavin' it all behind,
Packin' up the truck, headin' across the line,
Tennessee mountains, just you and me,
In a cabin where the sun sets over the trees.
We laughed 'bout writin' songs in the mountain breeze,
Singin' for the birds, just above the leaves.
But you had your plans, hidden from sight,
Used me for my music, left me behind.
You're up in those hills, up above the line
But I brought you to God, up in that sky
Now I see through you, I'm lookin past the sight
I was your drug, I was your mountain high
You can play your games, think you're riding high,
But when you aim too far, you can fall from the sky.
I'm more than your trail, more than your thrill,
I'm the mountain you'll never conquer at will.
I'm understanding but the last thing is weak
You're gonna lose this fight. Please have a seat
You'll find mountains like me ain't easy to reach
You thought you could climb me, sittin' at my peak
We'd lay by the bonfire, whiskey in our hands,
Fall asleep to the stars, dreamin' 'bout our plans.
You said, "One day we'll be closer to the sky,
In those hills, on the mountainside
We'd talked 'bout quittin' work, leavin' this old town,
Playin' shows in Nashville, then headin' back down.
But now you're livin' that dream, up there all alone,
You left me behind, made those mountains your own.
You can play your games, think you're riding high,
But when you aim too far, you can fall from the sky.
I'm more than your trail, more than your thrill,
I'm the mountain you'll never conquer at will.
I'm understanding but the last thing is weak
You're gonna lose this fight. Please have a seat
You'll find mountains like me ain't easy to reach
You thought you could climb me, sittin' at my peak
You saw my success and thought you'd hitch a ride,
But my mountain's steep, and there's no free slide
Getting this high up is hard to find
I hate to tell you, your not mountain high
You're up in those hills, up above the line
But I brought you to God, up in that sky
Now I see through you, I'm lookin past the sight
I was your drug, I was your mountain high
You can play your games, think you're riding high,
But when you aim too far, you can fall from the sky.
I'm more than your trail, more than your thrill,
I'm the mountain you'll never conquer at will.
I'm understanding but the last thing is weak
You're gonna lose this fight. Please have a seat
You'll find mountains like me ain't easy to reach
You thought you could climb me, sittin' at my peak
