Sometimes It Takes A Mountain (Live) - Gaither

Well, I ride on a mail train, babe, can't buy a thrill I've been up all night, leanin' on a window sill Well, if I don't make it to the top of the hill If I don't make it, you know my baby will And them wintertime is coming The windows are filled with frost I went to tell everybody But I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover, baby I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost Hey, I wanna be your lover, baby I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you Now when your train gets lost

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill Well, if I die on top of the hill And if I don't make it, you know my baby will Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees? Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the Double E? Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea? Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me? Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost

"Almost missed this one", he said I stared at the honky-tonk piano Sure beats living in town The beaches are half a mile away "Not much of the cat", I said He stared down underneath the couch It doesn't matter much to me Not gonna beat it, anyway It only takes a few cents more to go first class First class only takes a few It only takes a few cents more to go first class First class only takes a few "It's called 'quintessence", I said She stared at an Oreo cookie in black and white After water, earth, air and fire The fifth and highest play "Lobster okay?" She said I stared at her refrigerator door There'll be enough for the guy in the attic What's his name? It only takes a few cents more to go first class First class only takes a few It only takes a few cents more to go first class First class only takes a few Shared a floor with Nashville The burger queen bought herself a pearl A bloke named Bo but not bout skin With art and a very pretty Cali girl Downstairs, two Spanish lovers were singing along With some domestic dang horn I had to pinch myself, what a hell of a house I'd stumble on "June, July, August", she said They stared at the summer about to fade away Damn good three months of my life I remember now what living is "The cat's now a cat", I say You stared at the honky-tonk piano man Watch your step I just met Oliver, the lobster's his It only takes a few good friends to be first class First class only takes a few It only takes a few good friends to be first class First class only takes a few First class only takes a few It only takes a few It only takes a few It only takes a few Long live the island Long live the island Long live the island

Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in All those years longing for a land We were starved, much too weak to stand And they took their toil, tyrants of the soul With no place we could call our own With no song, Lord, you heard our groan And you made a way where there was no way Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out to bring us in Out of chains and the bonds of man Out of death and the curse of sin Through the desert sand to the promise land Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out to bring us in
