Mountains On My Mind Lyrics - C.w. Mccall

(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis) 

Rollin' down the runway 

Thinkin' 'bout the one-way of my life 

With another cup of coffee 

And another lonesome city far behind 

This old 747 will be flyin' over Heaven 

One more time 

And the tears begin to fallin' 

When I think about the mountains on my mind 

But now the skies above are sunny 

And it's time to say it's funny 

How I never thought I'd ever fly this high 

But maybe someday when it's over 

When I'm just a little older 

I can go back to the mountains on my mind 

Flyin' through the night time 

To a far off city skyline in the dawn 

And a thousand lights below me 

Are like fireflies tryin' to tell me that I'm wrong 

So I try to find a reason 

To forget the changin' seasons in my mind 

But the winds of time are blowin' 

And I've gotta go on knowin' that I tried 

'Cause now I hear a different drummer 

And I've used up all my summers 

Chasin' rainbows that I really didn't wanna find 

But maybe someday when it's over 

When I'm just a little older 

I can go back to the mountains on my mind
