lyrics

"Climbing Mountains"

Verse 1:
I've been out here on the plains,
With the windmills turning slow,
The old ranch ain't the same,
Since you told me you had to go.
Now the sunset paints the sky,
In hues of fading gold,
But it can't hide the tears,
That this old heart still holds.

Chorus:
I'm climbing mountains in my mind,
Searching for a reason, trying to find,
A way to mend these broken dreams,
As the train rolls down the line.
The breeze whispers your name,
In the shadows of goodbye,
Pouring out my soul in whiskey,
Underneath the starlit sky.

Verse 2:
The silos stand so tall,
But they're empty now inside,
Just like this weary heart,
Where your memory still resides.
The nights are long and quiet,
Since you went away,
I'm fighting with the darkness,
As the echoes start to sway.

Chorus:
I'm climbing mountains in my mind,
Searching for a reason, trying to find,
A way to mend these broken dreams,
As the train rolls down the line.
The breeze whispers your name,
In the shadows of goodbye,
Pouring out my soul in whiskey,
Underneath the starlit sky.

Bridge:
Heaven seems so far away,
When you're lost out on the road,
Just a soul in need of grace,
Carrying a heavy load.
But I'll keep on walking,
Through the dust and faded light,
Holding onto hope,
As I face another night.

Chorus:
I'm climbing mountains in my mind,
Searching for a reason, trying to find,
A way to mend these broken dreams,
As the train rolls down the line.
The breeze whispers your name,
In the shadows of goodbye,
Pouring out my soul in whiskey,
Underneath the starlit sky.

Outro:
So I'll keep on climbing,
With my dreams up to the sky,
As the windmills turn and whisper,
This ain't the end, just say goodbye.
