Mountain Pass Lyrics

Well, I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
Those truckers they all flash their lights at me
This highway ain't the very best companion
'Cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be
The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
'Bout the way your smile shines upon your face
And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking
Before I reach my final resting place
Oh, I...

[Chorus:]
...wish that I was in your arms a'sleeping
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made
But I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
Wishin' I was in your arms again

Oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain
I finally crossed the Archuleta line
Another hour and I'll be with my darlin'
To dry those lonesome tears that she's been cryin'
But I...

[Chorus]

I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
Those truckers they all flash their lights at me
Well this highway ain't the very best companion
'Cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be
Oh, I...
[Chorus]
I am runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
Wishin' I was in your arms again
