lyrics

Jenny waited by the Cherry Station road
Just as the trail had gone cold.
And the old man, he did die, but with a smile on his face
And we’d be lucky to share his fate.

So take the mountain path that lays ahead of you my friend
Kick away the urban decay on which you do depend
Like the maid laying in the rain, loneliness in her bones
Clutching at a photograph, 55 years old.

Take the mountain road my friend
And I will be there at the end
Take the mountain road my friend
And I will be there.

All those little things that shave the odds against
The thoughts keep stacking up like letters never sent
And all those stricken souls, lying wasted by the road
Do it for them.

Take the mountain road my friend
And I will be there at the end
Take the mountain road my friend
And I will be there.
