Lyrics
Up the mountain, round we go Headlights sweeping through the snow Of white blossom on the stones Nothing here but me and the road Left hand turn and right hand turn Every bend, a little lesson learned Radio low and the engine hums Down below the village lamps Hairpin bend, moon on the mountain Steady hands and an open heart Hairpin bend, moon on the mountain Every curve is a brand new start Keep it easy, keep it rolling Hairpin bend, moon on the mountain Cold air sweet with pine and rain Someone waits at the top again A little light in a window frame Someone who knows my name Slow down, speed up Take the road the way it comes Slow down, speed up Sing along, the night is young Hairpin bend, moon on the mountain Steady hands and an open heart Hairpin bend, moon on the mountain Every curve is a brand new start Keep it easy, keep it rolling Hairpin bend, moon on the mountain Moon on the mountain Almost there Moon on the mountain
