Can you say that your life is over
crying out looking up at you
me I might be heading down to Boulder
far away from the likes of you

As you know by now I'm sober
cleaning up my side of the street
Twenty-three years of growin' older
finding a way to make ends meet

High on a mountain
that's where I'll be
down the river and through the stream
High on a mountain

I flew, yes I did

I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
two steps ahead of the other two

the road is turning, the music's spinning
music's moving through my bones
play the game you might start winning
lose a life that you left at home.

High on a mountain
that's where I'll be
down the river and through the stream
High on a mountain

I flew, yes I did

I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
two steps ahead of the other two

Count your money all you can,
one by one like the other man
tuck it away, save a grand
a dollar bill ain't nobody's friend

High on a mountain
that's where I'll be
down the river and through the stream
High on a mountain

I stepped up to, yes I did

I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
two steps ahead of the other two
