Charlie Daniels Band High Lonesome Lyrics

High Lonesome Lyrics

Just you and me and a little white pup

Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up

To keep the chill away

Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn

Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn

It's my favorite time of the day



CHORUS:

High lonesome

God don't ever let this mountain change

High lonesome

I hope you will always stay the same



Sometimes in the evening when everything's still

Sweet mountain music floats over the hill

On a laurel-scented breeze

Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist

I think I might know where heaven is

It's just above the trees



CHORUS



Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls

Seein' my son growing honest and tall

Keeps me satisfied

If I live forever or I die today

All I would ask is you just let me lay

Here on this mountainside



CHORUS
