LONESTAR - Mountains lyrics

rate me

Lucinda Jones workin' at the IHOP:

Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an' tears

She's waited on every creed an' color,

While waitin' on this day to get here

Graveyard shifts, two big tips,

Makin' every quarter count,

Was worth it all to see her son,

In that cap an' gown

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,

Lose your grip, trip an' fall

When you can't lean on no-one else:

That's when you find yourself

I've been around an' I've noticed that,

Walkin's easier when the road is flat

Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time

Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,

So we could learn how to climb

Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war,

Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will

Hell bent to run in that local marathon,

He trained through the endless pain an' pills

It hurt so bad that sometimes,

He just had to cry,

He didn't stop until he crossed,

That finish line

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,

Lose your grip, trip an' fall

When you can't lean on no-one else:

That's when you find yourself

I've been around an' I've noticed that,

Walkin's easier when the road is flat

Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time

Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,

So we could learn how to climb

This world ain't fair,

It can knock you on your butt

You can just lie there,

Or you can get back up

You gotta get back up

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,

Lose your grip, trip an' fall

When you can't lean on no-one else:

That's when you find yourself

I've been around an' I've noticed that,

Walkin's easier when the road is flat

Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time

Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,

(The good Lord gave us mountains)

So we could learn how to climb

Yeah, oh
