Mountains On My Mind – C.W. McCall – letras

(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis)Rollin’ down the runwayThinkin’ ’bout the one-way of my lifeWith another cup of coffeeAnd another lonesome city far behindThis old 747 will be flyin’ over HeavenOne more timeAnd the tears begin to fallin’When I think about the mountains on my mindBut now the skies above are sunnyAnd it’s time to say it’s funnyHow I never thought I’d ever fly this highBut maybe someday when it’s overWhen I’m just a little olderI can go back to the mountains on my mindFlyin’ through the night timeTo a far off city skyline in the dawnAnd a thousand lights below meAre like fireflies tryin’ to tell me that I’m wrongSo I try to find a reasonTo forget the changin’ seasons in my mindBut the winds of time are blowin’And I’ve gotta go on knowin’ that I tried’Cause now I hear a different drummerAnd I’ve used up all my summersChasin’ rainbows that I really didn’t wanna findBut maybe someday when it’s overWhen I’m just a little olderI can go back to the mountains on my mind
