(Wayne C. Thompson - Donn Tankersley)

I finally found a place where I can take it
All this loneliness you've left behind
On a mountain that's no hill for a climber
Just one step up sit back and pour the wine.

And I climb up on barstool mountain
High above your world where there's no pain
And I'm the king of barstool mountain
Pretending I don't love you once again.

--- Instrumental ---

At closing time I step down off the mountain
I'm strong enough to make it without you
I know that I'll be right back here tomorrow
To weak to sober up and face the truth.

And I climb up on barstool mountain
High above your world where there's no pain
And I'm the king of barstool mountain
Pretending I don't love you once again.

Pretending I don't love you once again...
