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 day

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 it's everything still

Sweet mountain music floats over the hill

On a laurel scented breeze

Sometimes when the night birds are scolding the mist

I think I might know where heaven is

It's just above the trees

High lonesome

God don't ever let this mountain change

High lonesome

I hope you will always stay the same

Watchin' my summertimes turn in 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

High lonesome

God don't ever let this mountain change

High lonesome

I hope you will always stay the same

High lonesome
