I went up to the mountain Because you asked me to Up over the clouds To where the sky was blue I could see all around me Everywhere I could see all around me Everywhere Sometimes I feel like I never been nothing but tired And I'll be working 'Til the day I expire Sometimes I lay down No more can I do But then I go on again Because you asked me to Some days I look down Afraid I will fall And though the sun shines I see nothing at all Then I hear your sweet voice Come and then go Come and then go Telling me softly You love me so The peaceful valley Just over the mountain The peaceful valley Few come to know I may never get there Ever in this lifetime But sooner or later It's there I will go Sooner or later It's there I will go

Halfway to crazy
not far from sane
sick and tired
of all your games
All I ever wanted was
you to take care of me
Honor thy mother and father too
But I know there ain't no way
in hell that God mentioned you
All I ever wanted was
you to be there for me
All I ever needed was
you to be here for me
This time is the last time
you're gonna see us around
This was your last chance to
prove you wouldn't let me down
So go on get going and
get away from here
All alone is how you're gonna
spend the rest of your years
No farmer's daughter anymore
mommy dear
Remember back in high school
my brothers and me
Willie put his head
through the door to find clarity
You'd come home with bourbon
breath
Jack in the air
And when you broke my bones
I told the school
I fell down the stairs
All I ever wanted was for
you to be there for me
All I ever needed was for
you to be here for me
This time is the last time
you're gonna see us around
This was your last chance to
prove you wouldn't let me down
So go on home
get going and get away from here
All alone is how
you're gonna spend the rest
of your years
No farmer's daughter anymore
I ain't no farmer's daughter
anymore
No farmer's daughter anymore
mommy dea

Sixteen, you and me, never needed anything,
Summer breeze, running free, felt like we had everything
Suitcase full of dreams you said you’d run away with me,
But instead you let me leave.
No, I can’t, I can’t forget how it felt the end,
Love and believing, this feeling I never had!
Chorus:
So I just hold on to the melody,
Cause if I can’t have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
Look up to the better things
Every day we still gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!
Shoe box, broken dreams, sitting on a…
Cause I miss home, I’m here alone,
Wishing you were here with me,
And I can’t breathe, these city streets,
You rather close them on me,
I believe you’ll never be mean.
No, I can’t, I can’t forget how it felt the end,
Love and believing, this feeling I never had!
Chorus:
So I just hold on to the melody,
Cause if I can’t have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
Look up to the better things
Every day we still gotta hold on to something!
Now we can never go back!
So I just hold on to the melody,
Cause if I can’t have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
Look up to the better things
Every day we still gotta hold on to something!
