Up on the mountain, caught on the rail line Up on the mountain, caught on the rail line My brother, let the hard drugs be Drink your wine, smoke your weed My brother, let the hard stuff be And wear your silver lining Wear it close to your skin But if it's the drugs, the women, the wine, the weed The love that took everything I own Just take it all And tell the ones you love, you love them And teach only what you know, and, oh You better know it well We drove from coast to coast Down in New Orleans where the levees broke You were tripping, I was driving You were running, I was hiding And you know I know how that feels Don't get cheated kid, just swing from your heels And if you get carried away Let the music play you through the pain And wear that silver lining Wear it close to your skin But if it's the drugs, the women, the wine, the weed The love that took everything I own Just take it all And tell the ones you love, you love them Teach only what you know, and, oh You better know it well ♪ Up on the mountain, caught on the rail line Up on the mountain, caught on the rail line
