Mountain Pass Songtext / Lyric

Well, I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me
This highway ain't the very best companion
Because I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be

The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
About the way your smile shines upon your face
And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking
Before I reach my final resting place

Chorus:
Oh, I wish that I was in your arms asleeping
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Wishing I was in your arms again

Oh, my wheels are running hard against this mountain
I finally crossed the Archuleta line
Another hour and I'll be with my darling
To dry those lonesome tears that she's been crying

Chorus

I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me
This highway ain't the very best companion
Because I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be

Chorus

I am running down this mountain pass at midnight
Wishing I was in your arms again
