[acoustic melody followed by fiddle]
[verse 1]
Born in the wrong place and the wrong time
Alone and floating through life like a shadow
My heart is heavy and my life feels like a tragic show
Surrounded by a concrete jungle and crime
Out of thin air I hear a voice see a heavenly glow
Calling my name and beckoning me to follow
[chorus]
High peaks and deep valleys
Calling me out of these dark alleys
The bear grunts and coyote howls
The bull elk echos through the dead fall
Its the Mountains Call
[fiddle solo]
[verse 2]
Packing my bags and I’m going out the door
My eyes are fixed and my peddles on the floor
From Florida to Mississippi fear starts to grip me
I ten to Texas then fourty to New Mexico
Excitement flows all through me
Only sixty miles left till I’m in Colorado
My spirit starts to lift as white peak start to show
This is where my heart has been longing to go
[chorus]
High peaks and deep valleys
Calling me out of these dark alleys
The bear grunts and coyote howls
The bull elk echos through the dead fall
Its the Mountains Call
[verse 3]
Home is by the flowing creeks
That is where I find the lasting peace I seek
The lord is here with me and my soul is free
The cool breeze out here in the aspen trees
This where I answered the mountains call
There is purpose for everyone and this is mine
up here tending to the good lords creation
[acoustic guitar and fiddle]
[chorus]
High peaks and deep valleys
Calling me out of these dark alleys
The bear grunts and coyote howls
The bull elk echos through the dead fall
Its the Mountains Call
