Candy Mountain Run Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Rollin' and a-tumblin' 

Take me to the mountain 

Fly closer to the sun 

Wailin' and a-rumblin' 

I'm movin' not stumblin' 

Come, come with me 

On my candy mountain 

Candy mountain run 

Dropping lots of little ones from up high 

Gumdrops, lemon drops rainin' from the sky 

Come on riding close to the sun 

Come on riding with me on my candy mountain run 

Rollin' and a-tumblin' 

Take me to the mountain 

Fly closer to the sun 

Wailin' and a-rumblin' 

I'm movin' not stumblin' 

Come, come with me 

On my candy mountain 

Candy mountain run 

Movin' to the high ground, wish you could come 

Maybe they'll let me drop the big one 

All the little children hands up high 

Waitin' for the sugar plums fallin' from the sky 

Movin' to the high ground, to the sugar mine 

Movin' to the secret so clandestine 

World of fantasy wish you could come 

Mama's little baby on a candy mountain run 

Rollin' and a-tumblin' 

Place me on the mountain 

Fly closer to the sun 

Wailin' and a-rumblin' 

My fantasy crumblin' 

Come, come with me 

On my candy mountain 

Candy mountain run 

Come on riding with me close to the sun 

Mama keep telling me not to come 

Used to be a mouse, now I can roar 

Tomorrow I'll give myself a little bit more 

Forget about tomorrow live for today 

No guarantee, I'll make it anyway 

My special candy tastes good now 

Everyday I die a little, a little anyhow 

Rollin' and a-tumblin' 

Take me to the mountain 

Fly closer to the sun 

Wailin' and a-rumblin' 

I'm movin' not stumblin' 

Come, come with me 

On my candy mountain 

Candy mountain run
