High On A Hilltop Lyrics by Buck Owens
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
High on a hilltop overlooking a city
I watched the bright lights as they gleam
For somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room
And the lure of the gay life 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

--- Instrumental ---

I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth
With a promise of riches for you
But you see not the danger for 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
Just give me the power to believe and some day
High on a hilltop together we'll pray...
High on a hilltop overlooking a city   I watched the bright lights as they gleam   For somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room   And the lure of the gay life 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      --- Instrumental ---      I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth   With a promise of riches for you   But you see not the danger for 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   Just give me the power to believe and some day   High on a hilltop together we'll pray...
