[Verse 1]
I left my home to roam the world over
Gone from the place that gave me my start
But a part of me still walks the high ridges
So far away but so near to my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my lessons I've learned
And I long to return
[Chorus]
Ooo, ooo I hear the mountains
I hear the mountains wherever I go
Ooo, ooo off in the distance
I hear the mountains calling me home
[Verse 2]
There is a voice up in the tall timber
I still recall the sweet melody
A joyful noise so warm and familiar
So brilliant and bright and it's calling to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Saying 'Come on home, son'
Your rambling is done
[Chorus]
Ooo, ooo I hear the mountains
I hear the mountains wherever I go
Ooo, ooo off in the distance
I hear the mountains calling me home
Ooo, ooo I hear the mountains
I hear the mountains wherever I go
Ooo, ooo off in the distance
I hear the mountains calling me home
