Umpteen Miles Lyrics by Tommy Shaw
Tommy Shaw Lyrics
My daddy died upon this mountain
spent his life working with his hands
made his pay there by hauling flat rock
from up here on the back side of his land
when I was 10 he took me to the quarry
taught me things I never will forget
he showed no fear when he walked along the high side
far above that rocky river bed
It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it
it's umpteen miles to the very top
when you're umpteen miles high you can't back down it
it's umpteen miles down the bottom rock
times may have changed but not this mountain
all these years it stood there all alone
I passed the torch... now it's up to you son
to make your mark upon it stone by stone
It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it
it's umpteen miles to the very top
when you're umpteen miles high you can't back down it
it's umpteen miles down the bottom rock
It's umpteen miles boy can you climb it
it's umpteen miles to the very top
when you're umpteen miles high you can't back down it
it's umpteen miles down the bottom rock
it's umpteen miles down the bottom rock.
