Up High

We met out in the woods By the lake off Cloey drive I was fishing by my lonesome Saw you dancing in the pines I'm not sure if you saw me But you dang sure caught my eye I glance off for a moment To find your gaze locked into mine A couple of good years later I asked you to be my wife Then the week before the wedding The sheriff rings my door one night Said you were in town with your girlfriends When a drunk man ran a light And I lost the will to live When he said you lost your life Nobody to comfort me No one to say "it's ok to cry" Let the good Lord come for me And hear this final wish of mine When I die Bury my bones Up on the mountainside Overlooking the riverside Where I'll take your hand and start to fly Way up high I've been waiting a long, long time Ever since you died To meet again up high Way up high Up high The years are going slowly As I face them by myself Your mama tried to call me But I never asked for help I just wanna get to Heaven And escape this living hell Cause all I ever had Was you and no one else I don't want no comforting Cause I know its ok to cry Why won't the good Lord come for me So I can finally say goodbye Well, when I die Bury my bones Up on the mountainside Overlooking the riverside Where I'll take your hand and we'll start to fly Way up high Way up high When I die Bury my bones Up on the mountainside Overlooking the riverside When I die Bury my bones Up on the mountainside Overlooking the riverside Where you'll take my hand and we'll start to fly Way up high I've been waiting a long time Ever since you died To meet again up high Way up high Up high Yeah, way up high
