lyrics

Goin’ Up To The Mountains
(Nazel Pickens)

I’m goin’ up to the mountains
Leave this town behind
I’m goin’ up to the mountains
Fix this worried mind
Fix this worried mind

Ain’t lookin’ for no silver
Got no use for gold
Tryin’ to get myself right
‘Fore I get to very old

I used to chase the bright lights
Wine and whiskey it flowed
It just filled me with sorrow
My heart it grew so cold

And once I had a sweet darlin’
Tender and kind
I took to much to the ramblin’
Left her far behind

Now my soul it is so weary
Head mixed-up and blind
But my heart still yearns for somethin’
Somethin’ I must find

So, I’m goin’ up to the mountains
Leave this town behind
I’m goin’ up to the mountains
Fix this worried mind
Fix this worried mind

I’m goin’ where the dew is sweetest
The air it smells of pine
Leave this world of trouble
Have a life that’s mine

I’m goin’ where they never will find me
The hawk he is on wing
Where time is forgotten
The coo-coo comes to sing

‘Cause my days, they are so lonesome
Nights, they are so long
Don’t know why I ever left there
All I know is I was wrong

So, I’m goin’ back to where I came from
Where I’m light and free
My feet know where to take me
Where I can just be me

I’ll find me a dark ol’ hollow
Build a cabin in the wood
Mix up a lil’ moonshine
Try to forget you if I only could
I’d forget you if I only could

Plant me a garden in the clearin’
Winter, hunt me a buck
Spend the rest of my time
In peace with a lil’ luck
Peace with a lil’ luck

I’m goin’ up to the mountains
Leave this town behind
I’m goin’ up to the mountains
Fix this worried mind
Fix this worried mind
I’m lookin’ for a satisfied mind
