Back to That Mountain

[Intro] [Verse 1] When I was a boy, Dad took me out To the mountains where the world felt wide. Me, my father, and Grandpa too — Three shadows movin’ through the pines. Cold wind whisperin’ through the trees, Sun sittin’ warm on my face. We found a lone tree on a high ridge line, Lookin’ down into that silent place. [Chorus] And when the night grows heavy, And the world feels far too loud, I close my eyes and I’m right back there Where the quiet felt like a shroud. On that ridge above the holler, Where the wind still knows my name… I go back to that mountain When life don’t feel the same. [Verse 2] Dad didn’t talk much, Grandpa didn’t either, But somehow I heard every word. The kind of truth a man can’t teach — It’s something you feel more than heard. I carry that moment deep in my bones, A memory carved into stone. ’Cause long before the world got sharp, That mountain felt like home. [Chorus] And when the night grows heavy, And the world feels far too loud, I close my eyes and I’m right back there Where the quiet felt like a shroud. On that ridge above the holler, Where the wind still knows my name… I go back to that mountain When life don’t feel the same. [Verse 3] Now I’m grown, And the years have flown. Most of these roads I walk alone. But when trouble weighs Heavy on my chest, That mountain calls me Home to rest. I see Dad’s grin In the edge of light, Hear Grandpa’s laugh In the fading night. And though the world Keeps changing fast, That mountaintop Was built to last. [Final Chorus] And when the night grows heavy, And the world feels far too loud, I close my eyes and I’m right back there Where the quiet felt like a shroud. On that ridge above the holler, Where the wind still knows my name… I go back to that mountain To feel their quiet grace. [Outro] Yeah… when I close my eyes, That mountain still remains.
