High Sierra
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been higher than the High Sierra lower than Death Valley must be
I've been right mostly wrong wrong about you right about me
The way I feel can't explain so much passion turned to pain
The sun still shines most of the time did you know the sun shines when it rains
I've been higher than the High Sierra...
[ fiddle ]
I've been cussed and I've been praised and I've been nothing these days
I'll come back time will see if I'm wrong about you right about me
I've been higher than the High Sierra...
Wrong about you right about me wrong about you right about me
