Intro: (7x) N.C. Red sun a-rising, over the hill Had enough of this-a desert to last from now until I'm tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth This could be the day I finally find my way out I'm gonna climb that mountain high I'm gonna see what's on the other side I'm gonna kiss this town goodbye I'm gonna climb that mountain_____ N.C. How I arrived here, oh, heaven only knows It seems more like the kind of place the Devil would've chose To spend my life here, is more than I can do I know somewhere down the road my dreams will come true I'm gonna climb that mountain high I'm gonna see what's on the other side And I'm gonna kiss this town goodbye I'm gonna climb that mountain_____ Bridge: N.C. Ohh, if I stay here forever What will I have to show But if I make it over Well, then everyone will know I'm a-gonna climb that mountain high Instrumental:
