High on a hilltop overlookin' the city I watch the bright lights as they gleam

For somewhere you're dancin' in some dingy barroom

And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dreams

High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord forgive her she knows not the way

Just give me the power to believe and someday high on a hilltop together we'll pray

[ steel ]

I canvision around her with her lyin' so smooth with a promise of riches for you

But you see not the danger for you're silly with booze

And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you

High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord...
