[Verse 1]
I took my chances
Left you for Texas
Hell bent with something to prove
I thought you'd be there
When I wandered back where
I left your sweet love and the truth
[Chorus]
It's a blue mountain
A blue mountain
It's rolling between me and you
It's a long highway
A long highway
And it runs through the heart of a fool
[Verse 2]
Now I've been to Phoenix
The west coast, I've seen it
But still haven't found who I am
'Cause those old Carolinas
That I left behind are
The heart and the soul of this man
[Chorus]
It's a blue mountain
A blue mountain
It's rolling between me and you
It's a long highway
A long highway
And it runs through the heart of a fool
[Verse 3]
Well, no glass of whiskey
Can tell me you miss me
I've been gone too long for that
So I'll drink to old times
Black roads and white lines
Till the day I find my way back
[Chorus]
It's a blue mountain
A blue mountain
It's rolling between me and you
It's a long highway
A long highway
That runs through the heart of a fool
Oh, it runs through the heart of a blue mountain
A blue mountain
