Merle Haggard High On A Hilltop Lyrics

High On A Hilltop Lyrics

High on a hilltop overlooking the city

I can see the bright lights as they gleam

And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room

And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dream



High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord

Forgive her, she knows not the way

And give me the power to believe and some day

High on a hilltop together we'll pray



I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth

With a promise of riches for you

But you see not the danger 'cause you're silly with booze

And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you



High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord

Forgive her, she knows not the way

And give me the power to believe and some day

High on a hilltop together we'll pray
