Jason Eady – Man On A Mountain lyrics

[Verse 1: Courtney Patton]
You're a man on a mountain
You're a mountain of a man
The ridgeline timber
And the palms of your hands
Are too rough and rocky
They're as salty as the land
You're a man up the mountain
You're a mountain of a man

[Verse 2: Jason Eady]
You're a lily of the valley
But the valley keeps you down
I know you long to follow
My lonesome mountain [sound?]
But you're all wine and roses
You're never leaving town
You're a lily of the valley
But the valley keeps you down

[Chorus: Jason Eady and Courtney Patton]
Well once upon a time
We longed to be lovers
Why can't a valley girl
Ever love a mountain man?
Let us not spend out lives
Lying to each other
Let's meet in the middle
Let's never meet again

[Verse 3: Jason Eady & Courtney Patton & Jason Eady and Courtney Patton]
'Til you make me a promise
I could never be your wife
I ain't never promised no one
A damn thing in my life
I'll live with you forever
But I won't live in sin
Let's meet in the middle
Let's never meet again

[Chorus: Jason Eady and Courtney Patton]
Well once upon a time
We longed to be lovers
Why can't a valley girl
Ever love a mountain man?
Let us not spend out lives
Lying to each other
Let's meet in the middle
Let's never meet again

[Verse 4: Jason Eady & Courtney Patton & Jason Eady and Courtney Patton]
Well I'd buy you a diamond
That I can't afford
Well I don't need no diamond, boy
What are you waiting for?
Get down off that mountain
Girl, come take my hand
Let's meet in the middle
Let's never meet again

[Chorus: Jason Eady and Courtney Patton]
Well once upon a time
We longed to be lovers
Why can't a valley girl
Ever love a mountain man?
Let us not spend out lives
Lying to each other
Let's meet in the middle
Let's never meet again

[Outro: Jason Eady and Courtney Patton]
Let us not spend out lives
Lying to each other
Let's meet in the middle
Let's never meet again
