Sugarolly Mountains

Jim Diamond

Here I go again

Looking back on yesterday

Oh the games we played, Oh the innocence

The sun it always seemed to shine

Autumn spring right through winter time

Oh and my family and friends of mine,

Filled me so full of confidence

And oh and run like the wind

Free at last my young heart would sing



I lived my dreams out on, the sugarolly mountains

While looking down on mo mean city, way below

So many dreams up on, the sugarolly mountains

One day I'd be a rock and roll singer

The next I'd be building boats



And turning back another page

The school yard and the football game

Oh how we laughed through the purple haze

Playing on the radio

Arithmatic geography, They all just seemed to sail by me

I just thank God for the poetry

And that ringing bell I called liberty yeah

And oh I'd run like the wind

Free at last my young heart would sing yeah



And when you world is closing in

You've got no place to hide

Just close your eyes, count to ten

Climb on up and stake your claim
