Salvation Mountain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Drivin' through the desert in a metal tin can The Valley of Death breathin' down my neck Hit the bottom of a bottomless truck stop cup of black coffee Hey, hey, hey Put my last ten bucks of quarters in the gas tank Willie on the radio, keepin' me awake Pull off at Cadillac Ranch on the interstate in the pourin' rain Hey, hey, hey [Chorus] Gonna climb me a mountain Find salvation Been down for so damn long now Lord, I need some elevation Lord, I need some elevation, ooh [Verse 2] Ninety-eight in the shade and pullin' into Memphis Graceland keychains, gold-plate necklace Worshipping an old king who left the building Let us sing now, hey, hey, hey Sittin' in the stained glass rainbows of the Ryman On the stage, mama's singin' Patsy Cline And the house gets crowded and the crowd gets shoutin' They're on their feet now, hey, hey, hey [Chorus] Gonna climb me a mountain Find salvation Been down for so damn long now Lord, I need some elevation Lord, I need some elevation [Bridge] Headlights shinin' while I'm long white-linin' Has a way of easin' my mind Born to wander till I'm called up yonder Till the wheels come off I'm gonna ride, ride, ride [Verse 3] Fifty miles from the Mexican border Lenny painted his mountain for the Lord And hearts light up like a Love's truck stop Love one another now, hey, hey, hey [Chorus] Gonna climb me a mountain Find salvation Been down for so damn long now Lord, I need some elevation Lord, I need some elevation [Outro] Lord, I need some elevation
