For so long I've been told
I am on the road to glory
These days I don't mind
Just hearin' that old song
Way back when at the tavern
I would sit and write the stories
Well now, everybody
Just wants to sing along
And I'd wake-up early on Sunday morning
And hear the church bells ringin' loud
Someone said we would all be singin'
Oh, can't you hear the sound?
If you're lost and you can't find me
(Roll the mountainside)
Just leavin' all my friends behind me
(Roll the mountainside)
If you're in need of my acquaintance
(Roll the mountainside)
The many miles that separate us
(Roll the mountainside)
Then one day for five and change
I got ignored, then I bargained for
I found out that all-the-way
Was a little-bit too far
To late last night on the trunk
Cuttin' open the envelope
I found out when I woke-up
I'd bought myself a car
Then I stayed-up dancin' 'til Sunday morning
And just let the world go-out
[Incomprehensible]
Oh, can't you hear the sound?
If you're lost and you can't find me
(Roll the mountainside)
Just leavin' all my friends behind me
(Roll the mountainside)
Yeah, if you're in need of my acquaintance
(Roll the mountainside)
The many miles that separate us
(Roll the mountainside)
Oh, we gonna climb that mountain, ah-ooh
Yeah, we gonna roll it down about Sunday evening
Just watch the lights go down
Ooh, late tonight we gonna all be singin'
Oh, can't you hear the sound?
Can't you hear the sound, sound?
Sometime soon, down the road
Call you up when I've had enough
Wrote-down in a motel room
I'll send you all my love
I told you then, I'll tell you now
This here place is not my home
No need to tie me down
You can call me all your own
If you're lost and you can't find me
(Roll the mountainside)
Just leavin' all my friends behind me
(Roll the mountainside)
Yeah, if you're in need of my acquaintance
(Roll the mountainside)
The many miles that separate us
(Roll the mountainside)
On and on
Ah-ooh-ooo
