BORN IN THE HEAT
OF THE DESERT
MY MOTHER DIED
GIVING ME LIFE
DEPRIVED OF THE LOVE
OF A FATHER
BLAMED FOR THE LOSS
OF HIS WIFE
YOU KNOW LORD
I'VE BEEN IN A PRISON
FOR SOMETHING
THAT I NEVER DONE
IT'S BEEN ONE HILL
AFTER ANOTHER
BUT I'LL CLIMB THEM ALL
ONE BY ONE
BUT THIS TIME
YOU GAVE ME
A MOUNTAIN
A MOUNTAIN THAT I
MAY NEVER CLIMB
AND IT ISN'T A HILL
ANY LONGER
YOU GAVE ME
A MOUNTAIN THIS TIME
MY WOMAN GOT TIRED
OF THE HARDSHIPS
TIRED OF THE GRIEF
AND THE STRIFE
SO TIRED OF
WORKIN' FOR NOTHIN'
TIRED OF BEING MY WIFE
SHE TOOK MY ONE
RAY OF SUNSHINE
SHE TOOK MY PRIDE
AND MY JOY
SHE TOOK
MY REASON FOR LIVING
OH AND SHE
TOOK MY SMALL
BABY BOY
SO THIS TIME
YOU GAVE ME
A MOUNTAIN
A MOUNTAIN THAT I
MAY NEVER CLIMB
AND IT ISN'T A HILL
ANY LONGER
YOU GAVE ME
A MOUNTAIN THIS TIME
YOU GAVE ME
A MOUNTAIN THIS TIME
