Mountains Of My Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a destination, I've gotta wait to go
There's a revelation that I might never know
Somewhere salvation is waitin' down the road

[Chorus]
So, I think I'll find a long white line
Curse the world and leave it all behind
I've been tryin' all this time
I still can't climb the mountains of my mind

[Verse 2]
There's a testimony, that no one's ever heard
There's circumstances that none of us deserve
No rhyme or reason waiting 'round the curve

[Chorus]
Think I'll find a long whitе line
Curse the world and lеave it all behind
I've been tryin' all this time
I still can't climb the mountains of my mind

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
There's an empty table with a well-worn wooden chair
Just waiting for me in the middle of nowhere
Where no one knows me, where no one even cares
[Chorus]
So, I think I'll find a long white line
Curse the world and leave it all behind
I've been tryin' all this time
I still can't climb the mountains of my mind

[Outro]
Yes, I've been tryin' all this time
And still can't climb the mountains of my mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
But I still can't climb the mountains of my mind

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

To me, the long white line is on the freeway, highway, country road. I got out of the office, the suit, just jeans and Ts. The jewelry I wanted to wear, the meaning behind it all. The road dictated the trip.

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

‘Mountains of my Mind’ is one I wrote by myself, and my wife was just bawling in the control room the whole time I was playing it. I just woke up one morning and wrote that one. There’s some of that ‘not being able to get through the day’ sometimes. I think everybody has those days.
