lyrics

Moved up to here on the mountain top,
Gonna go back home see the folks you know,
Moved up to here on the mountain top,
Looking for a home that you used to know,

Moved up to here on the mountain top,
Look at all the trees look at all the rocks,
Moved up to here on the mountain top,
Blissin’ in the breeze, blissin’ in the sun,

The Air is clean, the air is pure,
The water is wonders that I’ve never known,
I am here sharing it with you,
But sometimes you just miss your original home,

Got yourself a brand new car,
Left it back somewhere there,
Walked down to the mailbox,
When will winter end, will the spring come in?

Moved up to here on the mountain top,
Blissin’ in the Breeze, Blissin’ in the sun,
Moved up to here on the mountain top,
Look out along the Valley’s walls,

Playing in the band on the weekend,
Gonna be a star gonna be a humble one,
Looked up tonight in the dark at the stars,
Far they are, from the Earth,

Gonna stick around for a little while,
Make this our home, turn the earth,
Gonna open up our hearts to the world,
Gonna let it start,

Do do do do do do dodo d do
