C. W. Mccall - Mountains on My Mind lyrics

rate me

(c.w. mccallbill frieschip davis)

Rollin' down the runway

Thinkin' 'bout the one-way of my life

With another cup of coffee

And another lonesome city far behind

This old 747 will be flyin' over heaven

One more time

And the tears begin to fallin'

When I think about the mountains on my mind

But now the skies above are sunny

And it's time to say it's funny

How I never thought I'd ever fly this high

But maybe someday when it's over

When I'm just a little older

I can go back to the mountains on my mind

Flyin' through the night time

To a far off city skyline in the dawn

And a thousand lights below me

Are like fireflies tryin' to tell me that I'm wrong

So I try to find a reason

To forget the changin' seasons in my mind

But the winds of time are blowin'

And I've gotta go on knowin' that I tried

'cause now I hear a different drummer

And I've used up all my summers

Chasin' rainbows that I really didn't wanna find

But maybe someday when it's over

When I'm just a little older

I can go back to the mountains on my mind
