Lyrics
THE LADY OF SHAVANO
Well I was travelin down that highway, the one they call the 40
I was headed for that wondrous land , I'd been longing for
Well it seems there was something calling me back to where I'm from
to a place up in the mountain sky, a place I call my home
Chorus
Mountain sun keep on shinin on the lady of shavano
She's the mother of one long lost son , who left her some time ago
Mountain son is a comin' back someday some how I know
to the Mother of the Mountain , to the lady made of snow
Well I left her for the city , to see what I could do
I struggled and I worked hard, to make my dreams come true
then suddenly I needed more of something I once had
then I heard the ladies voice up high, she was a callin' me on back
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
