Merle Haggard - High On A Hilltop lyrics

High on a hilltop overlooking a city I can see the bright lights as they gleam And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room And the lure of the gay life takes the place of our dream High on a hilltop my heart cries, Oh Lord Forgive her she knows not the way And give me the power to believe and some day High on a hilltop together we'll pray I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth And a promise of riches for you But you see not the danger cause you're silly with booze And high on a hilltop I see a devil in you [Refrain]
