Sweet Vine - Mountainside lyrics

rate me

For so long I've been told<br />

I am on the road to glory<br />

These days I don't mind<br />

Just hearin' that old song<br />

<br />

Way back when at the tavern<br />

I would sit and write the stories<br />

Well now, everybody<br />

Just wants to sing along<br />

<br />

And I'd wake-up early on Sunday morning<br />

And hear the church bells ringin' loud<br />

Someone said we would all be singin'<br />

Oh, can't you hear the sound?<br />

<br />

If you're lost and you can't find me<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

Just leavin' all my friends behind me<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

If you're in need of my acquaintance<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

The many miles that separate us<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

<br />

Then one day for five and change<br />

I got ignored, then I bargained for<br />

I found out that all-the-way<br />

Was a little-bit too far<br />

<br />

To late last night on the trunk<br />

Cuttin' open the envelope<br />

I found out when I woke-up<br />

I'd bought myself a car<br />

<br />

Then I stayed-up dancin' 'til Sunday morning<br />

And just let the world go-out<br />

[Incomprehensible]<br />

Oh, can't you hear the sound?<br />

<br />

If you're lost and you can't find me<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

Just leavin' all my friends behind me<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

Yeah, if you're in need of my acquaintance<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

The many miles that separate us<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

<br />

Oh, we gonna climb that mountain, ah-ooh<br />

<br />

Yeah, we gonna roll it down about Sunday evening<br />

Just watch the lights go down<br />

Ooh, late tonight we gonna all be singin'<br />

Oh, can't you hear the sound?<br />

Can't you hear the sound, sound?<br />

<br />

Sometime soon, down the road<br />

Call you up when I've had enough<br />

Wrote-down in a motel room<br />

I'll send you all my love<br />

<br />

I told you then, I'll tell you now<br />

This here place is not my home<br />

No need to tie me down<br />

You can call me all your own<br />

<br />

If you're lost and you can't find me<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

Just leavin' all my friends behind me<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

Yeah, if you're in need of my acquaintance<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

The many miles that separate us<br />

(Roll the mountainside)<br />

<br />

On and on<br />

Ah-ooh-ooo
