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 day      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 it's all kind of still   Sweet mountain music floats over the hill   On a laurel scented breeze      Sometimes when the nightbirds are scolding the mist   I think I might know where Heaven is   It's just above the trees      High lonesome   God don't ever let this mountain change   High lonesome   I hope you will always stay the same      Watchin' my summertimes turn in to falls   Seein' my song 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      High lonesome   High lonesome   High lonesome
