Too Many Mountains - Faron Young

There’s too many mountains too many mountains

Too many mountains to cross

No trails to follow through dark thick hollows

And ev’rybody here figures they got lost

I live here in the Smoky Mountains

Where honor means much more than gold

It’s a man’s duty to protect his honor

I defended mine but no one knows

'Coz it’s understood in the Smoky Mountains

To take another’s woman was the worst kind of wrong

But he and my darlin' broke the code of the mountain

And I’m the only one who knows where they’ve gone

And there’s too many mountains too many mountains

Too many mountains to cross

No trails to follow through dark thick hollows

And ev’rybody here figures they got lost

Yes they tried to cross over the mountain

They didn’t have it in their plan

I’d follow them through ev’ry ridge and hollow

'Coz I know these mountains like the back of my hand

And there’s too many mountains too many mountains

Too many mountains to cross

No trails to follow through dark thick hollows

And ev’rybody here figures they got lost

It’s a man’s duty to protect his honour

And ev’rybody here figures they got lost

But he and my darlin' broke the code of the mountain

And ev’rybody here figured they got lost
