High Sierra Heartbreak

it’s a heaven that doesn’t stay open it’s the tug of war
it’s the hysterical beauty with me i can’t take
it’s like lovin’ more than one woman
it’s the High Sierra heartbreak.

it’s the smoke that hangs in the trees, the fallen lumber
the restless slumber that tickles and smiles me to wake.
it’s the music…. oh the beautiful music…..
it’s the High Sierra heartbreak.

it’s the fuzz on the peach. it’s the word on the street. it’s the grizzly.
it’s the almighty writhing on Earth for heaven’s sake!
it’s the penguin, bet you didn’t expect to see a penguin.
it’s the High Sierra heartbreak.
