Lyrics
1st Chorus
Ridin' high up in the mountains
Feels so good, I feel like shoutin'
Leave my cares in the valley far below
Ridin' high up in the mountains
1st Verse
Load those ponies in the trailer
Watch that eastern sky grow paler
Race the daylight up the canyon
All my worries are abandoned
2nd Verse
Just point old Blaze, he steps out walkin'
There ain't no sound, no need for talkin'
Just muffled hoofbeats on the game trail
And clean, fresh mountain air that we smell
2nd Chorus
When I'm ridin' high up in the mountains
It feels so good, I feel like shoutin'
Leave my cares in the valley far below
Ridin' high up in the mountains
Bridge
Ridin' high, ridin' high
Eye level with the eagle as she flies
Tag
Yeah, we're ridin' high up in the mountains
Yeah, we're ridin' high up in the mountains
