Mountain Top by Leftover Salmon Lyrics
[Verse]
I’ve been livin’ on a mountain top
With too much ice and snow
And a wild wind that just won’t stop
But I won’t live down below
When buildings reach up to the sky
There’s a big old part of me that dies
When confusion, it just won’t stop
Take me back to my Mountain Top
[Chorus]
Take me back to my mountain top
Where time it moves real slow
There’s no tickin’ of the clock
And nowhere you gotta go
On the fiddle and the bow
Where I want just what I got
Take me back to my mountain top
[Verse]
I’ve lived down there in town
In the valley far below
Everybody runnin’ round
Lord I wonder where they go
I couldn’t find a reason why
To live that fast until you die
I packed it up and turned around
Took it back to that mountain town
[Chorus]
Take me back to my mountain top
Where time it moves real slow
There’s no tickin’ of the clock
And nowhere you gotta go
On the fiddle and the bow
Where I want just what I got
Take me back to my mountain top
[Verse]
I’ve seen the other side
And I’ve kept my eyes open wide
But I never liked just what I’d found
Down in that crazy frantic town
When time moves a bit too fast
You got to hold to something that can last
Where the old times aren’t forgot
Take me back to my mountain top
[Chorus]
Take me back to my mountain top
Where time it moves real slow
There’s no tickin’ of the clock
And nowhere you gotta go
On the fiddle and the bow
Where I want just what I got
Take me back to my mountain top
I’ve been livin’ on a mountain top
With too much ice and snow
And a wild wind that just won’t stop
But I won’t live down below
When buildings reach up to the sky
There’s a big old part of me that dies
When confusion, it just won’t stop
Take me back to my Mountain Top
[Chorus]
Take me back to my mountain top
Where time it moves real slow
There’s no tickin’ of the clock
And nowhere you gotta go
On the fiddle and the bow
Where I want just what I got
Take me back to my mountain top
[Verse]
I’ve lived down there in town
In the valley far below
Everybody runnin’ round
Lord I wonder where they go
I couldn’t find a reason why
To live that fast until you die
I packed it up and turned around
Took it back to that mountain town
[Chorus]
Take me back to my mountain top
Where time it moves real slow
There’s no tickin’ of the clock
And nowhere you gotta go
On the fiddle and the bow
Where I want just what I got
Take me back to my mountain top
[Verse]
I’ve seen the other side
And I’ve kept my eyes open wide
But I never liked just what I’d found
Down in that crazy frantic town
When time moves a bit too fast
You got to hold to something that can last
Where the old times aren’t forgot
Take me back to my mountain top
[Chorus]
Take me back to my mountain top
Where time it moves real slow
There’s no tickin’ of the clock
And nowhere you gotta go
On the fiddle and the bow
Where I want just what I got
Take me back to my mountain top
