Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died giving me life
Deprived of the love of a father
And blamed for the loss of his wife
You know lord I′ve been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It′s been one hill after another
But I've climbed them all one by one
But this time you gave me a mountain
A mountain you know I may never climb
It isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
My woman got tired of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and all the strife
She was so tired of just working for nothing
Tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy
So this time you gave me a mountain
A mountain that I may never climb
It isn′t a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
It isn′t a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
