George Strait Lyrics
"King Of The Mountain"

(Larry Boone - Paul Nelson)

I gave her that diamond she dreamed of,
And I bought her a home with a view.
I took her to the end of the rainbow,
But all I left her was blue.

Seems I never had time to love her,
And now it seems time just stands still.
I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill.

Chorus:
Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill.
I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill.

Chorus:
Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill.
I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill.

Yeah, I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill...
