High Peaks Blues

Gonna carry my rock up the mountain,

carry my rock up the mountain,

feel it every step of the way.

Feel my troubles weighing me down,

weighing me down,

for the last time today.

Gonna leave that rock at the

top of the mountain, top of the mountain,

up high with all the rest.

Gonna leave that rock at the

top of the mountain, top of the mountain,

up high and I'll feel blessed.

Leave my troubles when I drop that stone,

drop that stone, drop that stone,

haul it up and let it go.

Now a rock is a rock, and a man is a man--

A rock is a rock and a man is a man--

Simple words, and I know it for sure.

Leave my troubles when I drop that stone,

drop that stone, drop that stone,

won't feel that weight anymore.

When I come back down, gonna

be a new man, be a new man.

Look up at that high gray peak,

can't see my troubles,

from where I am,

from where I am.
