The Charlie Daniels Band - High Lonesome lyrics

[Verse 1] Just you and me and a little white pup Sitting here waiting for the sun to come up To keep the chill away Drinking our coffee at the first crack of dawn Watching a doe while she nuzzles her fawn It's my favourite time of the day [Chorus] High Lonesome God don't ever let this mountain change High Lonesome I hope you will always stay the same [Verse 2] Sometimes in the evening when everything's still Sweet mountain music floats over the hill On a laurel-scented breeze Sometimes when night birds are scolding the mist I think I might know where heaven is It's just above the trees [Chorus] [Verse 3] Watching my summertime's turning to falls Seeing my song growing honest and tall Keeps me satisfied If I live forever or I die today All I would ask is you just let me lay Here on this mountainside [Chorus]
