Out on the street it was raining today 
Homeless man stood in the cold
Gave him five dollars and went on my way 
Big city blues in my soul 
Maybe like me that man chose to live here 
Where there are days your heart dies 
Maybe he dreamed of a place far away 
Under the wide open skies. 

Went on my way feeling strange all that day 
Wondering what had gone wrong
Deep in my heart I could hear that voice call 
Haunting me all that day long 

Mountain girl in the city
You've been gone far too long
Find your way back to the mountains 
Where you know you belong
Where your dreams can't go wrong. 

I've seen the world and its sights in my day 
Cities that blaze like the sun
I've had my share of their riches and fame 
Done things I never should have done
Been broken-hearted and broken some hearts 
Tried running hard from my pain 
And all along that voice calls in my soul 
Come back to the mountains again. 

Mountain girl in the city
You've been gone far too long
Find your way back to the mountains 
Where you know you belong
Where your dreams can't go wrong. 

Bought a ticket back again 
Heading home once more 
Feel that aching pain recede 
Like the waves on the shore 

I feel the heart of the mountains again
Beating inside my breast
Bringing me back to the place I belong 
Bringing me home to the west 
No pain or sorrow can keep me away 
I'll even walk that last, long mile 
Here in the mountains
Where every sunrise starts 
I'll heal my heart for awhile 

Mountain girl in the city
You've been gone far too long
Find your way back to the mountains 
Where you know you belong
Where your dreams can't go wrong. 

Mountain girl, mountain girl, mountain girl in the city.
