Mountain Music

(Words and Music by Randy Owen)



(Spoken)

Ya see that mountain over there?

Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna climb that mountain.



(Sang)

Chorus:

Oh, play me some mountain music,

Like grandma and grandpa used to play.

Then I'll float on down the river

To a Cajun hideaway.



Drift away like Tom Sawyer,

Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn.

Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle,

Days dreamin' again.



Chorus:

Oh, play me some mountain music,

Like grandma and grandpa used to play.

Then I'll float on down the river

To a Cajun hideaway.



--- Instrumental ---



Swim across the river,

Just to prove that I'm a man.

Spend the day bein' lazy,

Just bein' nature's friend.



Climb a long tall hick'ry,

Bend it over skinnin' cats.

Playin' baseball with chery rocks

Usin' sawmill slabs for bats.



Bridge:

Play some back-home, come-on music

That comes from the heart.

Play something with lots of feelin',

'Cause that's where music has to start.



Chorus:

Oh, play me some mountain music,

Like grandma and grandpa used to play.

Then I'll float on down the river

To a Cajun hideaway, hey, hey.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, play me mountain music.

Oh, play me mountain music.

Oh, play me mountain music.

Oh, play, yee haa...
