Mountain High, Valley Low

Mountain high, valley low

In what direction will I go?

Will I be up, will I be down?

Will I be lost or will I be found?

Mountain high, valley low

I was born just west of Memphis over in Arkansas

I had to leave because I was in trouble with the law

Mountain high, valley low

I never learned the lesson of early rise and shine

I spent my late nights drinkin' whiskey, beer and wine

Mountain high, valley low

Mountain high, valley low

In what direction will I go?

Will I be up, will I be down?

Will I be lost or will I be found?

Mountain high, valley low

Four things haunt a drifter bein' one I know

Money and booze, the women you lose and nowhere left to go

Mountain high, valley low

Mountain high, valley low

In what direction will I go?

Will I be up, will I be down?

Will I be lost or will I be found?

Mountain high, valley low
