Mountains

Lucinda Jones workin' at the I-Hop
 Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an' tears
 She's waited on every creed an' color
 While waitin' on this day to get here
 Graveyard shifts, two big tips
 Makin' every quarter count
 Was worth it all to see her son
 In that cap an' gown
 There are times in life when you gotta crawl
 Lose your grip, trip an' fall
 When you can't lean on no one else
 That's when you find yourself
 I've been around an' I've noticed that
 Walkin's easier when the road is flat
 Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time
 Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
 So we could learn how to climb
 Private Bobby Dunn came back from the war
 Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will
 Hell bent to run in that local marathon
 He trained through the endless pain an' pills
 It hurt so bad that sometimes
 He just had to cry
 He didn't stop until he crossed
 That finish line
 There are times in life when you gotta crawl
 Lose your grip, trip an' fall
 When you can't lean on no one else
 That's when you find yourself
 I've been around an' I've noticed that
 Walkin's easier when the road is flat
 Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time
 Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
 So we could learn how to climb
 This world ain't fair
 It can knock you on your butt
 You can just lie there
 Or you can get back up
 You gotta get back up
 There are times in life when you gotta crawl
 Lose your grip, trip an' fall
 When you can't lean on no one else
 That's when you find yourself
 I've been around an' I've noticed that
 Walkin's easier when the road is flat
 Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time
 Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
 (The good Lord gave us mountains)
 So we could learn how to climb, yeah, oh
