Made It Up The Mountain - The Wood Brothers Lyrics

Made It Up The Mountain

Speakin' of lyin', well I’ve told a few
And they say that’s not what Jesus would do
Well I’ve been temped red, white, and blue
But you’ll understand when you’re in my shoes
I was just finding my way

I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have climbed so high
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind
Speakin’ of bridges, well I’ve burned a few
It’s all about cheatin’, and bending some rules
Well it might not sound like what a man should do
But you’ll understand when you’re in my shoes
That I was just finding my way

I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have climbed so high
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind

Speakin’ of falling, breakin’ in two
Well I’m talkin’ ‘bout love, and I have a few
But to keep on climbing, and get to the truth
You’ve gotta burn a few holes in those shoes
If you’re gonna find your way

I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have climbed so high
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind

I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have climbed so high
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind

I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have climbed so high
I don’t believe; I don’t believe I’d have made it up the mountain
Without a fire burning under my behind
Without a fire burning under my behind
