Bruce Hornsby - Stander On The Mountain (Live) lyrics

And he stands at the banquet room bar Looking over the crowd The reunion band playing too loud And he sees his fellow old star Looks him up and down Sees a little of himself in his frown, yeah The stander on the mountain Looking for the fountain To drink some, to think some About the old days Big man around town Nothing could be found Of the old days, the old ways When he was the one And the stander on the mountain runs Let us sit and talk of old times Well, that's what we're supposed to do here And you don't look a day over twenty-two, thirty-two, yeah Yes, we were so funny and wild Well, there's an old friend of mine He says I'm looking back most all the time, okay The stander on the mountain Listens to the sound To drink some, to think some About the old days King of the mountain Nothing could be found Of the old ways, the old days When he was the one And the stander on the mountain runs King of the hill runs away Oh, she's knocking on your door tonight Oh, she wants to see if she remembers right Hey, won't you come outside tonight, alright They drive to the lookout on the hill When it was over Sat there and looked back All was way in the distance Tomorrow was a long time away Nobody thought much about it Nothing wrong if we live for today I recall when you filled it on up And you bowed to the basketball crowd The girls in the short skirts screaming loud The stander on the mountain Looking for the fountain To drink some, to think some About the old days, hey yeah Big man around town Nothing could be found From the old ways, the old days When he was the one And the stander on the mountain runs [Incomprehensible] runs away, runs away Oh, runs away, he runs away, runs away
