Honorable Mention | “Mountain Time”

“MOUNTAIN TIME”
WRITTEN BY KURT SOUTH
CROWLEY, TEXAS

ain’t nothing sadder than a slow train to nowhere
nothing’s as good as a fast train home
nothing’s as pretty as spring in Virginia
it gets in your blood and it stays in your bones

down by the river somewhere
dixieland floats like a bird on the air
down on the Tennessee line
my heart still beats
on mountain time
my heart still beats
on mountain time

somewhere tonight a banjo is playing
welcome as rain all summer long
i wish i was on top of pine mountain
drinking their moonshine and singing their song

down by the river somewhere
dixieland floats like a bird on the air
down on the Tennessee line
my heart still beats
on mountain time
my heart still beats
on mountain time

just like the choir on Sunday morning
singing so loud that the whole world can hear
the preacher says fire can give you redemption
down by the water so clear, oh oh oh

down by the river somewhere
dixieland floats like a bird on the air
down on the Tennessee line
my heart still beats
on mountain time
my heart still beats
on mountain time
my heart still beats
on mountain time
my heart still beats
on mountain time
