High on a Hilltop Songtext
von Buck Owens

High on a hilltop, overlooking a city
I watch the bright lights as they gleam
For somewhere you′re dancing in some dingy barroom
And the lure of the gayness, takes the place of our dreams


High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord
Forgive her, she knows not the way
Just give me the power to believe and someday
High on a hilltop together we'll pray

I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth
With a promise of riches for you
But you see not the danger, for you′re silly with booze
And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you

High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord
Forgive her, she knows not the way
Just give me the power to believe and someday
High on a hilltop together we'll pray
