Stander On the Mountain

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
 The stander on the mountain
 Looking for the fountain 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
 ♪
 Let us sit and talk of old times
 That's what we're supposed to do
 And you don't look a day over 32
 Yes we were so funny and wild
 There's an old friend of mine
 Says I'm looking back most all the time
 And the stander on the mountain
 Listens to the sound of the city streets, the lonely heat
 The town he once owned
 King of the mountain
 Nothing could be found of the old ways, the old days
 When he was the one (the one)
 And the stander on the mountain runs
 And the King of the hill runs away
 ♪
 Oh, she's knocking on your door tonight
 Oh, she wants to see if she remembers right
 Say, won't you come outside tonight?
 Alright
 They drive to the lookout on the hill
 ♪
 And when it was over
 They sat there and they looked back
 Tomorrow was way in the distance
 Tomorrow was a long time away
 Nobody thought much about it
 And there's nothing wrong if we live for today
 I recall when you filled it on up
 And you bowed to the 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
 Big man around town
 Nothing could be found of the old ways, the old days
 When he was the one
 And the stander on the mountain runs
 The King of the hill runs away now
 The King of the hill runs away
