about

This is an early single we released before recording "The Record". It's also one of the earlier tunes Autumn and Ernie wrote before they became a band. Originally titled "Mountain Song", it's a crowd favorite. Also available on iTunes.

Side note: There is also a dirty joke involving the lyrics about rabbits and dirt holes but we'll save the story unless you ask us.

lyrics

There's a light on the mountain
You can catch it on a high wind
There's a light on the mountain
You can catch it on a high wind

Break away to see the day come
Shake away the fear of wakin'
Make a motion with a smiling eye

There's a light on the mountain
You can catch it on a high wind
There's a light on the mountain
You can catch it on a high wind

Break away to see the day come
Shake away the fear of wakin'
Make a motion with a smiling eye

Ooohh, steal a day on high
Ooohh, take a break tonight
Ooohh, it's your only fight
To be your own true light

There's a rabbit in a dirt hole
You can chase him but he'll go-­go
There's a rabbit in a dirt hole
You can chase him but he'll go­-go

Trip across the rocky road
Skip the long way to your home
It's the only thing you've got to do

Ooohh, steal a day on high
Ooohh, take a break tonight
Ooohh, it's your only fight
To be your own true light

(Solo)

Ooohh, steal a day on high
Ooohh, take a break tonight
Ooohh, it's your only fight
To be your own true light

There's a rabbit in a dirt hole
You can chase him but he'll go-­go
There's a rabbit in a dirt hole
You can chase him but he'll go­-go

Trip across the rocky road
Skip the long way to your home
It's the only thing you've got to do

Ooohh, steal a day on high
Ooohh, take a break tonight
Ooohh, it's your only fight
To be your own true light
