Mountain High, Valley Low

Mountain high, valley low
In what direction will I go?
Will I be up, will I be down?
Will I be lost or will I be found?
Mountain high, valley low
I was born just west of Memphis over in Arkansas
I had to leave because I was in trouble with the law
Mountain high, valley low
I never learned the lesson of early rise and shine
I spent my late nights drinkin' whiskey, beer and wine
Mountain high, valley low
Mountain high, valley low
In what direction will I go?
Will I be up, will I be down?
Will I be lost or will I be found?
Mountain high, valley low
Four things haunt a drifter bein' one I know
Money and booze, the women you lose and nowhere left to go
Mountain high, valley low
Mountain high, valley low
In what direction will I go?
Will I be up, will I be down?
Will I be lost or will I be found?
Mountain high, valley low
