Not long ago
Seemed like yesterday
The mountains were my home
Thought I'd always stay
Summer days of blue
Night skies full of stars
Lately I can't take
The sight of city lights and cars
Take me away
Far far away from here
Take me away
Bring me home
The mountains are my home
Far away from here
Send me on my way
Take me home
There were times before
Times I'd wish away
Up among the peaks
Beside a glacial lake
Living in the sky
Makes it hard to leave
The city's got me down
Down where I can't breathe
Take me away
Far far away from here
Take me away
Bring me home
The mountains are my home
Far away from here
Send me on my way
Take me home
To purple mountains' majesty
If even for a day
Not so many miles from here
Just a world away
Looking out my door
This is what I see
Houses row by row
Planned so expertly
But the wind and rock and snow
Are calling out to me
It's the summits that I know
Where I long to be
Take me away
Far far away from here
Take me away
Bring me home
The mountains are my home
Far away from here
Send me on my way
Oh, take me home
Take me home
Take me home
