Karaoke You Gave Me a Mountain Gene Watson

Born in the heat of the desert

My mother died giving me life

Deprived of the love of a father

Blamed for the loss of his wife

You know Lord

I've been in a prison for something I've never done

It's been one hill after another but I've climbed them all one by one

But this time you gave me a mountain

A mountain that

I may never climb

And it isn't a hill any longer

You gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of the hardships

Tired of the grief and the strife

So tired of working for nothing

Tired of being my wife

She took my one ray of sunshine

She took my pride and my joy

She took my reason for living

Oh, she took my small baby boy

So this time, Lord you gave me a mountain

A mountain that

I may never climb

And it isn't a hill any longer

You gave me a mountain this time

You gave me a mountain this time
