Testo Mountains on my mind C.W. McCall

Mountains on my mind

(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

Rollin down the runway
Thinkin bout the one-way of my life
With another cup of coffee
And another lonesome city far behind

This old 747 will be flyin over heaven
One more time
And the tears begin to fallin
When I think about the mountains on my mind

But now the skies above are sunny
And its time to say its funny
How I never thought Id ever fly this high
But maybe someday when its over
When Im just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind

Flyin through the night time
To a far off city skyline in the dawn
And a thousand lights below me
Are like fireflies tryin to tell me that Im wrong

So I try to find a reason
To forget the changin seasons in my mind
But the winds of time are blowin
And Ive gotta go on knowin that I tried

cause now I hear a different drummer
And Ive used up all my summers
Chasin rainbows that I really didnt wanna find
But maybe someday when its over
When Im just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind
