Stander On The Mountain Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

And he stands at the banquet room bar 

Looking over the crowd 

The reunion band playing too loud 

And he sees his fellow old star 

Looks him up and down 

Sees a little of himself in his frown 

The stander on the mountain 

Looking for the fountain to drink some, to think some 

About the old days 

King of the mountain 

Nothing could be found of the old ways, the old days 

When he was the one 

And the stander on the mountain runs 

Let us sit and talk of old times 

That's what we're supposed to do 

And you don't look a day over thirty-two 

Yes we were so funny and wild 

There's an old friend of mine 

Says I'm looking back most all the time 

And the stander on the mountain 

Listens to the sound of the city streets, the lonely heat 

The town he once owned 

King of the mountain 

Nothing could be found of the old ways, the old days 

When he was the one 

And the stander on the mountain runs 

King of the hill runs away 

Oh, she's knocking on your door tonight 

Oh, she wants to see if she remembers right 

Say won't you come outside tonight, alright 

They drive to the lookout on the hill 

And when it was over 

They sat there and looked back 

Tomorrow was way in the distance 

Tomorrow was a long time away 

Nobody thought much about it 

And there's nothing wrong if we live for today 

I recall when you filled it on up 

And you bowed to the crowd 

The girls in the short skirts screaming loud 

The stander on the mountain 

Looking for the fountain to drink some, to think some 

About the old days 

Big man around town 

Nothing could be found of the old ways, the old days 

When he was the one 

And the stander on the mountain runs 

[Incomprehensible]
