"Back To My Old Molehill" lyrics - THE FLATLANDERS

I went to see the gypsy,
But her mobile home was gone
And all that was left of the gypsy
Was her tire tracks cross the lawn
I headed out across the flatlands
In a rooster tail of dust
Lookin' to find some peace of mind
From someone I could trust
I tried to hide the pain,
But the pain it would not hide
And when I tried to tell the truth,
The truth turned around and lied

We were flyin' too high for each other
Too High for our own good will
I wish you would take me off of this mountain
Back to my old molehill
Take me off of this mountain
Back to my old molehill

I decided to call my doctor,
But my doctor was not home
So I thought I'd call my lawyer,
But my lawyer didn't have a phone
The sky is a fallin' on me babe
Ever since you decided to leave
I have this fear that the atmosphere
Is gettin' too thin to breathe

I tried to hide the pain,
But the pain it would not hide
And when I tried to tell the truth,
The truth turned around and lied

We were flyin' too high for each other
Too High for our own good will
I wish you would take me off of this mountain
Back to my old molehill
Take me off of this mountain
Back to my old molehill
I thought I'd just go fishiin'
But the fish were not amused
And I caught myself just wishin
That I was in the fishes shoes
Just swimmin in some deep blue water
Not a care in my head
Watchin' some fool with a line and pole
Hidin' by the riverbed

I tried to hide the pain,
But the pain it would not hide
And when I tried to tell the truth,
The truth turned around and lied

We were flyin' too high for each other
Too High for our own good will
I wish you would take me off of this mountain
Back to my old molehill
Take me off of this mountain
Back to my old molehill
