High Lonesome

Just you and me and a little white pup
 Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up
 To keep the chill away
 Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn
 Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn
 It's my favorite time of day
 High lonesome
 God don't ever let this mountain change
 High lonesome
 I hope you will always stay the same
 Sometimes in the evening when it's all kind of still
 Sweet mountain music floats over the hill
 On a laurel scented breeze
 Sometimes when the nightbirds are scolding the mist
 I think I might know where Heaven is
 It's just above the trees
 High lonesome
 God don't ever let this mountain change
 High lonesome
 I hope you will always stay the same
 Watchin' my summertimes turn in to falls
 Seein' 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
 High lonesome
 High lonesome
 High lonesome
