Prettiest Tree on the Mountain |
| Well, a robin flew by my window |
| I thought it just might be you |
| Judging from the color of its breast |
| And the sound of its song |
| But I’m just thinking of you |
| Cause you’re in sunny California |
| The fertile land, John Steinbeck wrote |
| When I came not a single fertile patch |
| Could be spared for you and me |
| You see, I wanted to love you, baby |
| Like neither you nor I’d been loved before |
| I thought I could change the world if I just held you high enough |
| Truth is, I couldn’t hold you up at all |
| I couldn’t hold you up |
| I couldn’t hold you up |
| And I sure ain’t gonna hold you down |
| Well, I’m leaving, walking back home |
| I don’t care if it takes years or more |
| But as I walk through the hills of Kentucky |
| The leaves begin to turn red |
| And I think of you |
| Yes, I think of you |
| The prettiest tree on the mountain |
