Mountains in springtime
J. Michael Tracy male vocal/ballad
I was losin’ my mind, ya know it happens everytime
When I am blind like a fool and people are usin’ me
Sliding out to the edge, feelin’ like I’m gonna fall off the ledge
Into a bottomless pit leadin’ down to eternity
When I get away, I’ll find a cabin by a stream and I’ll stay
Where the nearest neighbor is one or two ridges away
I tried to play the part, there’s no tellin’ what it’s done to my heart
Just get me back to the country and let me make a brand new start
(chorus)
I’ll find me a girl that is willing to see
That citified livin’ holds nothin’ for me
If I stay here I’ll be better off dead
I need to be back where I was born and bred
Mountains in springtime, under the grapevine
Cool taste of sweet wine, the air is clean and the rain is fallin’
Livin’ the good life, no city street strife
Fishin’ pole and a good wife, from now on this’ll be my callin’ yeah
(inst. partial verse)
(verse)
I’ll have a view of the hills, you know I never get tired of the thrills
Of the strike of a trout or a coyote callin’
I’ll climb the mountain top, and when I’m there I don’t think that I’ll stop
Into the sky I will fly and I’m never commin’ down
(chorus 2 times)
