Lyrics

Went up to the mountains thought I'd stay a couple spells
Went up to the mountains thought I'd spend a couple bills
Took the long trip round the Colorado
Took the train back to Tennessee

Back to work on Monday back to pay my dues
Back to work on Monday thought I'd save a couple bills
Took the long trip round the block to stop and smell the roses
'bout that time I found I really need the fresh clean air

Because I'm high
Higher than the trees
Higher than the clouds above the peaks

I'm high
Higher than the trees
And I'm as high as I want to be

Packed up all my gear I'm back out on the road
Where I'm really goin' I don't even know
They say it's not about the target but about the way ya' roll
Another city another crowd another face another show

Shoveled in the furnace shuffled in the deck
My feet are never planted new pavement I will trek
They say it's not about the clothes but about the man that where's them
And I'm just tryin' to be all I can

Because I'm high
Higher than the trees
Higher than the clouds above the peaks

I'm high
Higher than the trees
and I'm as high as I want to be
I'm as high as I want to be
