Tonight i'll be sleepin on a mountain top
I got a billion stars for my witness
In the morning i go down and the sun comes up
And i take a drink from the bitterroot river
Have you been lonely
Yes i've been lonely
I've been lonely too
Have you been lonely
Yes i've been lonely
I've been lonely too
Tonight i'll be sleepin on a mountain top
I got a billion stars for my witness
In the morning i go down and the sun comes up
I take a drink from the bitterroot river
Have you been travelin'
Yes i've been travelin'
I've been travelin' too
(that girl can play)
Have you been travelin'
Yes i've been travelin'
I've been travelin' too
(lordy help me (unknown))
Tonight i'll be sleepin on a mountain top
I got a billion stars for my witness
In the morning i go down and the sun comes up
I take a drink from the bitterroot river
I take a drink from the bitterroot river
I take a drink from the bitterroot river
