Mountain Time
Ian Munsick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Four hundred horses by the reigns
Darlin′, I'm flyin′ 'cross the plains
And I'm only thinkin′ ′bout one thing
Now I got four hundred horses by the reigns

I've been missin′ me some you
Darlin', I know you miss me too
I left them city lights in my rearview

Yeah, but I′ve been missin' me some you

It don′t matter where I go
I always find my way back home
After all, my heart belongs to you
I've been near and I've been far
But there′s nowhere like where you are
Hey, honey, it′s about time
To settle on down in Mountain Time

Your love's a paintbrush in the breeze
Pretty as autumm on the leaves
Color of the sunset settin′ over me
Yeah, but your love's a paintbrush in the breeze

It don′t matter where I go
I always find my way back home
After all, my heart belongs to you
I've been near and I′ve been far
But there's nowhere like where you are
Hey, honey, it's about time
To settle on down in Mountain Time

Your hand holdin′ mine
′Til I ride my last ride
Your hand holdin' mine
Out in Mountain Time
Your hand holdin′ mine
'Til I ride my last ride
Your hand holdin′ mine
Out in Mountain Time

It don't matter where I go
I always find my way back home
After all, my heart belongs to you
I′ve been near and I've been far
But there's nowhere like where you are
Hey, honey, it′s about time
To settle on down in Mountain Time

(Hey, babe, it′s about time)

To settle on down in Mountain Time
(Hey, babe, it's about time)
