High on a mountain top We live, we love, and we laugh a lot Folks up here know what they got High on a mountain top High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world's Like a little bitty spot I ain't comin down no never I'm not High on a mountain top High on a mountain top
Where I come from the mountain flowers grow wild The blue grass sways like it's goin out of style God fearin' people simple and real 'Cause up on the ridge folks that's the deal Well my daddy worked down in the dark coal mine Shovelin' that coal one shovel at a time Never made a lot money didn't have much But we're high on life and rich in love
[Chorus]
Well down in the holler lived my uncle Joe He'd pull out his fiddle and rosin his bow We'd all sing and dance And we ain't gonna stop When the moon shine flows behind every rock
[Chorus]
Well we lay on our backs and we count the stars 'cause up here folks heaven's not that far
