High on a hilltop overlookin’ the city I watch the bright lights as they gleam
For somewhere you’re dancin’ in some dingy barroom
And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dreams
High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord forgive her she knows not the way
Just give me the power to believe and someday high on a hilltop together we’ll pray
[ steel ]
I canvision around her with her lyin’ so smooth with a promise of riches for you
But you see not the danger for you’re silly with booze
And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you
High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord…
