| Out on the street it was raining today
|
| Homeless man stood in the cold
|
| Gave him five dollars and went on my way
|
| Big city blues in my soul
|
| Maybe like me that man chose to live here
|
| Where there are days your heart dies
|
| Maybe he dreamed of a place far away
|
| Under the wide open skies
|
| Went on my way feeling strange all that day
|
| Wondering what had gone wrong
|
| Deep in my heart I could hear that voice call
|
| Haunting me all that day long
|
| Mountain girl in the city
|
| You’ve been gone far too long
|
| Find your way back to the mountains
|
| Where you know you belong
|
| Where your dreams can’t go wrong
|
| I’ve seen the world and it’s sights in my day
|
| Cities that blaze like the sun
|
| I’ve had my share of their riches and fame
|
| Done things I never should have done
|
| Been broken hearted and broken some hearts
|
| Tried running hard from my pain
|
| And all along that voice calls in my soul
|
| Come back to the mountains again
|
| Mountain girl in the city
|
| You’ve been gone far too long
|
| Find your way back to the mountains
|
| Where you know you belong
|
| Where your dreams can’t go wrong
|
| Bought a ticket back again
|
| Heading home once more
|
| Feel that aching pain recede
|
| Like the waves on the shore
|
| I feel the heart of the mountains again
|
| Beating inside my breast
|
| Bringing me back to the place I belong
|
| Taking me home to the west
|
| No pain or sorrow can keep me away
|
| I’ll even walk that last, long mile
|
| Here in the mountains where every sunrise starts
|
| I’ll heal my heart for awhile
|
| Mountain girl in the city
|
| You’ve been gone far too long
|
| Find your way back to the mountains
|
| Where you know you belong
|
| Where your dreams can’t go wrong
|
| Mountain girl, mountain girl
|
| Mountain girl in the city |
