Mountain Folks Are Always High [Featured Single]

I STOPPED IN A BLUE RIDGE STORE
SAW AN OLD MAN SITTING ON THE PORCH
HE HAD A CERTAIN SPARKLE IN HIS EYES
SMILING LIKE HE’S SATISFIED

I SAID EXCUSE ME SIR BUT CAN I ASK
WHAT’S THE KEY TO HAPPINESS
HE SAID DON’T YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY
MOUNTAIN FOLKS ARE ALWAYS HIGH

CHORUS:
HIGH ON FRESH AIR, HIGH ON SUNSHINE
WHERE THE TREETOPS, TOUCH THE BLUE SKY
HIGH ON LIVIN’ CLOSE TO HEAVEN
MOUNTAIN FOLKS ARE ALWAYS HIGH

I SAT DOWN BESIDE THAT MAN
TOOK SOME TIME TO BREATHE IT IN
I COULD SMELL WILDFLOWERS THERE
AND I FELT SOMETHING IN THE AIR

THE OLD MAN LAUGHED AND SAID TO ME
IT’S BETTER THAN YOU THOUGHT IT’D BE
HE SAID NOW YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY
MOUNTAIN FOLKS ARE ALWAYS HIGH

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

THE OLD MAN LAUGHED AND SAID TO ME
IT’S BETTER THAN YOU THOUGHT IT’D BE
HE SAID NOW YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY
MOUNTAIN FOLKS ARE ALWAYS HIGH

CHORUS X 2

MOUNTAIN FOLKS ARE ALWAYS HIGH
