I long for the mountaintops,
I want to fly like an eagle does,
I want my Rocky Mountain high.
These concrete walls keep closing in,
I'm really sick of city life,
this walled -in feeling gets me down
They're much too blind to see
I miss the simple things in life
This city living's not for me
My heart longs for the mountains
Where at least I know I'm free
The beauty of the mountains
Is the peace that's calling me
I sleep within these city walls
At night another day is through
The windows shut and doors are locked
to keep me safe from harm.
The city grows and walls are built
and now is losing all its charm.
My heart longs for the mountains
where at least I know I'm free.
The beauty of the mountains
is the peace that's calling
I'm longing for a carefree day,
for sights beyond my eyes.
I'm heading west to leave behind
the brown cloud hanging in the skies
The white tank mountains beckon me,
Come hike along the mountain trails,
come see the pretty waterfall
My heart longs for the mountains,
where at least I know I'm free
The beauty of the mountains
is the peace that's calling me
My heart longs for the mountain tops
To feel that rocky mountain high
