"Top Of The Mountain" lyrics

Memories, memories

Ooh memories, yeah, they take me back
To when I was a little child on the wrong side of the town
I used to hear my mother say (she used to tell me)
When times were hard
And beer she couldn't pay
She used to tell me

When it rains it pours
And now the man's gonna put us outdoors
But I'm gonna see (I'm gonna see)
I've got to see (I'm gonna see)

Ooh the top of the mountain
(I'm gonna see the top of the mountain)
Yes I am
(Gonna see the top of the mountain)
Yeah

My mother used to say, girl
If you make it to the top
Take somebody with you
And don't you ever stop

There's a man in the blessing business
And he won't let you suffer too long
But after all my mother's teaching
There ain't nothing gonna lead me wrong
'Cause I'm gonna see (I'm gonna see)
I've got to see (I'm gonna see)
Ooh the top of the mountain
(I'm gonna see the top of the mountain)
Yes I am
(Gonna see the top of the mountain)
Yeah

I made it over
And I'm not ashamed
For my raggedy house and dirty streets
No, no, from which I came

I've paved, paved a way
For every boy and man
And don't you know that if I could
I'd do it all over again (again, again, again)
Ooh 'cause I've seen, ooh
Yes I've seen (yes I've seen)

The top of the mountain, oh yeah
It's so beautiful, yeah
(It's beautiful, the top of the mountain)
It's so beautiful
(It's beautiful, the top of the mountain)
Ooh yeah
(So beautiful, the top of the mountain)
Oh oh yeah
(So beautiful, the top of the mountain)
Mmm
(So beautiful, the top of the mountain)
Mmm
(So beautiful, the top of the mountain)
Ooo
(So beautiful, the top of the mountain)
