But we're high on life and rich in love
He'd pull out his fiddle and rosin' his bow
Well, down in the holler lived my uncle Joe
The blue grass sways like it's goin' out of style
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Where the rest of the world's
I ain't comin' down, no, never I'm not
High on a mountain top
God fearin' people simple and real
Where the rest of the world's
Like a little bitty spot
Where I come from the mountain flowers grow wild
And the moon shine flows behind every rock
Well, we lay on our backs and we count the stars
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
'Cause up on the ridge, folks that's the deal
High on a mountain top
Like a little bitty spot
We live, we love and we laugh a lot
Shovelin' that coal one shovel at a time
We live, we love and we laugh a lot
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Never made a lot money didn't have much
I ain't comin' down, no, never I'm not
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Folks up here know what they got
Where the rest of the world's
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
Folks up here know what they got
We'd all sing and dance and we ain't gonna stop
High on a mountain top
I ain't comin' down, no, never I'm not
Like a little bitty spot
I ain't comin' down, no, never I'm not
We live, we love and we laugh a lot
Folks up here know what they got
High on a mountain top
Well, my daddy worked down in the dark coal mine
Like a little bitty spot
Where the rest of the world's
High on a mountain top
'Cause up here folks Heaven's not that far
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
High on a mountain top
