KING OF THE MOUNTAIN

WRITERS LARRY BOONE, PAUL NELSON

I gave her that diamond she dreamed of,

And I bought her a home with a view;

I took her to the ends of the rainbow,

But all I left her was blue.

Seems I never had time to love her,

Now it seems time just stands still;

I thought I was king of the mountain,

But I was only a fool on the hill.

Chorus:

Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely,

Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill;

I thought I was king of the mountain,

But I was only a fool on the hill.

Chorus:

Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely,

Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill;

I thought I was king of the mountain,

But I was only a fool on the hill.

I thought I was king of the mountain,

But I was only a fool on the hill...
