"High On A Hilltop" lyrics - MERLE HAGGARD

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

[Refrain:]
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]
