See Off This Mountain Lyrics

She's a Blue Ridge cradle

 She's a mother to some

 And home to the laughter

 Of road weary ones

 So we'll sing all the old songs

 Sing to Grandmamma Road

 And we'll sing cause we miss her

 And we're sad she had to go

 If I could see off this mountain

 Through the clouds in my eyes 

 I would see off this mountain 

 On the nights stars fell

 And see off this mountain 

 Through the tears in my eyes 

 I would see off this mountain

 And the stars fell from the skies 

 In the air I hear a fiddle 

 Down along Hickory Way

 And the mandolin guitar

 Like we used to play

 And down on Dunn's rock

 Brothers boasting a dare 

 We tell them they're crazy

 And pretend we don't care 

 If I could see off this mountain

 Through the clouds in my eyes 

 I would see off this mountain 

 On the nights stars fell 

 And see off this mountain

 Through the tears in my eyes

 I would see off this mountain 

 And the stars fell from the skies 

 The air tastes like moonshine 

 In the wind a carnival tune 

 It soars with our laughter

 But we'll all leave too soon 

 So I raise a toast to family 

 Put thanks in my glass 

 In the arms of your loved ones 

 It's the only home that lasts 

 If I could see off this mountain 

 Through the clouds in my eyes 

 I would see off this mountain 

 On the night the stars fell 

 And see off this mountain 

 Through the tears in my eyes

 I could see off this mountain 

 When the stars fell from the skies

 When the stars fell from the skies 

 Going up to Grandmamma Road

 Going up to Grandmamma Road

 I'm happy as can be

 'Cause can't you see

 I'm going up to Grandmamma Road
