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 the day
CHORUS: 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 everything's still Sweet mountain music floats over the hill On a laurel-scented breeze Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist I think I might know where heaven is It's just above the trees
REPEAT CHORUS
Watchin' my summertimes turnin' 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
