Buck Owens & His Buckaroos
High on a Hilltop
High on a hilltop, overlooking a city,I watched the bright lights as they gleam.For somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room,And the lure of the gay life takes the place of our dream.High on a hilltop my heart cries: "Oh Lord,Forgive her she knows not the way,And give me the power to believe, and some day,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,And give me the power to believe, and some day,High on a hilltop, together we'll pray..."
