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 the day Chorus: 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 everything's still Sweet mountain music floats over the hill On a laurel-scented breeze Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist I think i might know where heaven is It's just above the trees Repeat chorus Watchin' my summertimes turnin' 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 Repeat chorus
