Lyrics
Now a mountain is a beautiful thing
You ought to hear the spens sing.
If you are passing or you are spending some time,
I imadine you'll be feeling dine.
Got a new location, you'll br calling it home...
Refrain: Taking it home all the time x4
Hound dogd howling at me,
He don't believe in poverty.
He lives in a great big place,
Where they feed him three times a day.
Got a new location, He's calling it home.
Refrain:
Got a message from some old bird,
The strahgest thing I ever heard.
She said she was feeling so good,
She was telling everbody she can.
Got a new location, ahe's calling it home.
Refrain:
Some say that home is a place,
Occupying some kind of space.
Others say that it's inside ,
And you take with you all the time.
Refrain:
(repeat verse one)
