 Vs.1

GET ME OUT OF THIS CITY; I CAN’T TAKE THIS PUSHING NO MORE. SEND ME UP TO THE MOUNTAINS, WHERE THEY SAY LIFE IS A BORE--- YEAH, I’LL BE FINE. IT’S FRIDAY NIGHT AND THE WORK WEEK’S DONE. ALL I NEED’S A REAL SLOW GEORGE STRAIT SONG. I’LL BE FINE. I’M ON MOUNTAIN TIME..

CHORUS:

AND THINGS RUN A LITTLE BIT SLOWER UP HERE, IT HASN’T CHANGED MUCH IN A HUNDRED YEARS, PEOPLE STILL SMILE WHEN YOUR PASSING BY… EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME… YEAH THE SUN STILL RISES AND FALLS AT NIGHT, YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THE STARS BURNING SO BRIGHT AS YOU DO WHEN YOUR ROCKING ON THAT OLD BACK PORCH ACROSS THE LAKE UNDER THE MOUNTAIN SKY… WHOA—O—OA… MOUNTAIN TIME…

VS. 2

THE FAMILY’S ALL HERE AND THE FRIENDS ARE HANGING OUT, JACK DANIELS, COFFEE BEANS AND THE BUSCH LEAGUE CROWD TONIGHT… SURE BEATS THE CITY CELL PHONE TYPE, NO DISTRACTIONS HERE… BY THE WARM, WARM, FIRE… AND A COOL MOUNTAIN MILE---

CHORUS2/ BRIDGE (VOCAL):

YOU’VE GOT TO CLEAR YOUR MIND OF THAT CITY PAIN… I’VE GOT THE ANSWER… IT’S HONEYSUCKLE AND RAIN… WHOA…MOUNTAIN RAIN….

BRIDGE: MUSICAL

WHOA… MOUNTAIN TIME…

VS.3

SURE HATE LEAVING WHEN THE WEEKEND’S DONE..BUT GOTTA PAY THE BILLS… GOTTA RUN… TWENTY YEARS OR MORE TILL OUR RETIRING DIME…COUNTING EVERY MINUTE… IN MY MIND… I’M ON MOUNTAIN TIME…

CHORUS:

AND THINGS RUN A LITTLE BIT SLOWER UP HERE, IT HASN’T CHANGED MUCH IN A HUNDRED YEARS, PEOPLE STILL SMILE WHEN YOUR PASSING BY… EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME… YEAH THE SUN STILL RISES AND FALLS AT NIGHT, YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THE STARS BURNING SO BRIGHT AS YOU DO WHEN YOUR ROCKING ON THAT OLD BACK PORCH ACROSS THE LAKEUNDER THE MOUNTAIN SKY… WHOA—O—OA… MOUNTAIN TIME… WHOA—O—OA… MOUNTAIN TIME… WHOA—O—OA… MOUNTAIN TIME… WHOA—O—OA… MOUNTAIN TIME…
