Take Me To The Mountains - Del McCoury
Well I motored into Houston a town
I'd seen before
I thought of an old Army pal of
A thousand days or more
I found him on a VA ward a lookin' mighty low
On the far end of a long long trip
With not many miles to go
When I told him the Carolina Hills
Were calling back to me
He said I think I told you once
I was born in Tennessee
If I could see those hills one time
I'd die more easily
The he took my had and he bowed
His head and this is what he said to me
Take me with you to the mountains
Won't you please
Let me walk the blue ridge
Let me count a million trees
Houston ain't no place to
Die and I'd be satisfied if I
Could walk a little closer
To the sky in the
Mountains won't you please
Well a pardon from a VA ward just ain't
So easy won
But a good old friend and doctor there
Said it could be done
And in a little while with the road in
Our way underneath that Texas Sun
And we both knew in a day or two
His race would be run
Well he'd talk awhile and he'd sleep
A while and I drove with all I had
Right side Atlanta though he got to looking bad
Just keep right on a-truckin boys
We'll make it now he said
When the blue Ridge came in sight
A corpse is all I had
Take me with you to the mountains
Won't you please
Let me walk the blue ridge
Let me count a million trees
Houston ain't no place to
Die and I'd be satisfied if I
Could walk a little closer
To the sky in the
Mountains won't you please
Well there are songs that are not sung
And words that are not read
But the lines that rhyme that are out
Of time still echo in my head
And I just head to foot step
Lying in our head
That dyin' in my footsteps sure beats
That Houston bed
Take me with you to the mountains
Won't you please
Let me walk the blue ridge
Let me count a million trees
Houston ain't no place to
Die and I'd be satisfied if I
Could walk a little closer
To the sky in the
Mountains won't you please
