Mountains

Lucinda Jones workin' at the IHOP:

Ten years worth of bacon eggs an' tears

She's waited on every creed an' color

While waitin' on this day to get here

Graveyard shifts two bit tips

Makin' every quarter count

Was worth it all to see her son

In that cap an' gown

There are times in life

When you gotta crawl

Lose your grip trip an' fall

When you can't lean on no-one else:

That's when you find yourself

I've been around and I've noticed that

Walkin's easy when the road is flat

Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time

Yeah the good Lord gave us mountains

So we could learn how to climb

Private Bobby Dunn came back from the war

Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will

Hell bent to run in that local marathon

He trained through the endless pain an' pills

It hurt so bad that sometimes

He just had to cry

He didn't stop until he crossed

That finish line

There are times in life when you gotta crawl

Lose your grip trip an' fall

When you can't lean on no one else

That's when you find yourself

I've been around and I've noticed that

Walkin's easy when the road is flat

Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time

Yeah the good Lord gave us mountains

So we could learn how to climb

This world ain't fair

It can knock you on your butt

You can just lie there

Or you can get back up

You gotta get back up

Lonestar-Mountains

There are times in life when you gotta crawl

Lose your grip trip an' fall

When you can't lean on no one else

That's when you find yourself

I've been around and I've noticed that

Walkin's easy when the road is flat

Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time

Yeah the good Lord gave us mountains

The good Lord gave us mountains

So we could learn how to climb

Yeah oh
