Mountains On My Mind lyrics

(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

Rollin` down the runway
Thinkin` `bout the one-way of my life
With another cup of coffee
And another lonesome city far behind

This old 747 will be flyin` over heaven
One more time
And the tears begin to fallin`
When i think about the mountains on my mind

But now the skies above are sunny
And it`s time to say it`s funny
How i never thought i`d ever fly this high
But maybe someday when it`s over
When i`m just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind

Flyin` through the night time
To a far off city skyline in the dawn
And a thousand lights below me
Are like fireflies tryin` to tell me that i`m wrong

So i try to find a reason
To forget the changin` seasons in my mind
But the winds of time are blowin`
And i`ve gotta go on knowin` that i tried

`cause now i hear a different drummer
And i`ve used up all my summers
Chasin` rainbows that i really didn`t wanna find
But maybe someday when it`s over
When i`m just a little older
I can go back to the mountains on my mind
