Mountain so high, mountain so high

Want to get back to my baby but the mountain’s so high

Twenty more miles, gonna make it or die

Horses look tired, horses look tired

Ain’t got no food and no water and the horses look tired

Wish I was back in my cabin with my feet by the fire

(CHORUS)

Lookin' back all I see is a life of bad decisions

Feels like a lonely sea of trouble I’m in

Living so carelessly is a thing that’s bound to kill you

But it’s all right with me, I’ll leave it til last

When I’m over the pass

Thunder it rolls, the thunder it rolls

See that rain comin' up the valley and the thunder it rolls

Trail getting rougher and it’s darker than coal

Deep in my bones, deep in my bones

Feel that old fear and it’s creepin down deep in my bones

No help coming, gotta go it alone

Mountain so high, mountain so high

Want to get back to my baby but the mountain’s so high

Twenty more miles, gonna make it or die
