Mountain Pass Lyrics

Mountain Pass

Well, I`m runnin` down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me.
This highway ain`t the very best companion, 
`cause I know there`s somewhere else I`d rather be.

The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
`Bout the way your smile shines upon your face.
And I know this ain`t the last beer I`ll be drinking
Before I reach my final resting place
Oh, I...

(Chorus)
...wish that I was in your arms a` sleeping,
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made,
But I`m runnin` down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishin` I was in your arms again.

Oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain,
I finally crossed the Archuleta line.
Another hour and I`ll be with my darlin`
To dry those lonesome tears that she`s been cryin`
But I...

(Chorus)
 

I`m runnin` down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me.
This highway ain`t the very best companion, 
`cause I know there`s somewhere else I`d rather be.
Oh, I...

(Chorus)

I am runnin` down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishin` I was in your arms again.
