(You gave me a mountain)
Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died givin' 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
Of something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
I've climbed them all one by one
Oh, but this time
Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain that I may never climb
It isn't, Lord, a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
My woman got tired of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of workin' for nothin'
Just tired of bein' my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for livin'
She took my small baby boy
Well, this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain that I may never climb
It isn't, Lord, a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
You gave me a mountain this time
(You gave me a mountain this time)
(Ohhh, oh, ohhh)
(Thank you, thank you very much)
