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 night birds 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 --- High Lonesome - Charlie Daniels and The Charlie Daniels Band
