See Off This Mountain

Edwin McCain

She's a Blue Ridge cradle

She's a mother to some

And home to the laughter

Of road weary ones

So we'll sing all the old songs

Sing to grandmama road

And we'll sing cause we miss her

And we're sad she had to go

If I could see off this mountain

Through the clouds in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

On the nights stars fell

And see off this mountain

Through the tears in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

And the stars fell from the skies

In the air I hear a fiddle

Down along Hickory Way

And the mandolin guitar

Like we used to play

And down on Dunn's rock

Brothers boasting a dare

We tell them they're crazy

And pretend we don't care

If I could see off this mountain

Through the clouds in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

On the nights stars fell

And see off this mountain

Through the tears in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

And the stars fell from the skies

The air tastes like moonshine

In the wind a carnival tune

It soars with our laughter

But we'll all leave too soon

So I raise a toast to family

Put thanks in my glass

In the arms of your loved ones

It's the only home that lasts

If I could see off this mountain

Through the clouds in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

On the night the stars fell

And see off this mountain

Through the tears in my eyes

I could see off this mountain

When the stars fell from the skies

When the stars fell from the skies

Going up to grandmama road

Going up to grandmama road

I'm happy as can be

'Cause can't you see

I'm going up to grandmama road?
