Merle Haggard High on a Hilltop Lyrics

High on a hilltop over looking the city
I can see the bright lights as they gleam
And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy barroom
And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dream
High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord
Forgive her she knows not the way
And give me the power to believe that someday
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 from high on a hilltop I see the devil win you
High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord
Forgive her she knows not the way
And give me the power to believe that someday
High on a hilltop together we'll pray
