Lyrics

[Chorus] I was born where the mountains high And the snow peaks reached the sky Where the smell is oh so sweet in the pines [Verse] I remember my sweet nanny Giving me sugar buns and honey And all the love a young man should have [Verse] Oh, I remember Ginny When we sweet talked, never weary By the river where the water was so clear [Verse] I've been in the city for a while But my soul is still countrified And I can't wait to get back home again [Verse] In my mind I'm home in the valley While my cold, aching body Is lying here in this lost, cold city alley Oh my Jesus please have pity Take my hand and lead me out this city I need you to take me home again [Chorus] I was born where the mountains high And the snow peaks reached the sky Where the smell is oh so sweet in the pines [Verse] Oh, I remember Ginny When we sweet talked, never weary By the river where the water was so clear [Outro] Jesus, Jesus Do not pass me by Oh my Jesus please have pity...
