Back to my Old Molehill

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 went to see the gypsy,

but her mobile home was gone

And all that was left of the gypsy

was her tire tracks cross the lawn

I headed out across the flatlands

in a rooster tail of dust

Lookin' to find some peace of mind

from someone I could trust

I tried to hide the pain,

but the pain it would not hide

And when I tried to tell the truth,

the truth turned around and lied

We were flyin' too high for each other

Too High for our own good will

I wish you would take me off of this mountain

back to my old molehill

Take me off of this mountain

back to my old molehill

I decided to call my doctor,

but my doctor was not home

So I thought I'd call my lawyer,

but my lawyer didn't have a phone

The sky is a fallin' on me babe

ever since you decided to leave

I have this fear that the atmosphere

is gettin' too thin to breathe

I tried to hide the pain,

but the pain it would not hide

And when I tried to tell the truth,

the truth turned around and lied

We were flyin' too high for each other

Too High for our own good will

I wish you would take me off of this mountain

back to my old molehill

Take me off of this mountain

back to my old molehill

I thought I'd just go fishiin'

but the fish were not amused

And I caught myself just wishin

that I was in the fishes shoes

Just swimmin in some deep blue water

not a care in my head

Watchin' some fool with a line and pole

hidin' by the riverbed

I tried to hide the pain,

but the pain it would not hide

And when I tried to tell the truth,

the truth turned around and lied

We were flyin' too high for each other

Too High for our own good will

I wish you would take me off of this mountain

back to my old molehill

Take me off of this mountain

back to my old molehill
