See Off This Mountain Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
She's a blue ridge cradle
She's a mother to some
And home to the laughter
Of road weary ones
So we'll sing all the old songs
Sing to Grandmamma Road
And we'll sing 'cause we miss her
And we're sad she had to goIf I could see off this mountain
Through the clouds in my eyes
I would see off this mountain

On the nights the stars fell
And see off this mountain
Through the tears in my eyes
I would see off this mountain
And the stars fell from the skiesIn the air I hear a fiddle
Down along Hickory Way
And the mandolin guitar
Like we used to play
And down on Dunn's rock
Brothers boasting a dare
We tell them they're crazy
And pretend we don't careIf I could see off this mountain
Through the clouds in my eyes
I would see off this mountain
On the nights the stars fell
And see off this mountain
Through the tears in my eyes
I would see off this mountain
And the stars fell from the skiesAnd the mist taste like moonshine
In the wind a carnival tune
It soars with our laughter
But we'll all leave too soon
I raise a toast to family
Put thanks in my glass
In the arms of your loved ones
It's the only home that lastsIf I could see off this mountain
Through the clouds in my eyes
I would see off this mountain
On the night the stars fell
And see off this mountain
Through the years in my life
I could see off this mountain
When the stars fell from the skiesWhen the stars fell from the skies
Going up to Grandmamma Road
Going up to Grandmamma Road
I'm happy as can be 'cause can't you see
I'm going up to Grandmamma Road

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Edwin McCain (born January 20, 1970 in Greenville, South Carolina) is an alternative and indie rock guitar player. While his albums are released under his name, he does have a permanent band, referred to as the Edwin McCain Band. Members of the band as of 2007 include Larry Chaney, lead guitar; Pete Riley, rhythm guitar and background vocals; Craig Shields, saxophone and keyboards; Manny Yames, bass guitar; and Peter Alexander, drums.

After signing a contract with the Atlantic Records label Lava Records in 1994, his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves, was issued in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned I'll Be, a major single in 1998. Two more albums (Messenger and Far From Over) followed, but at the end of 2001, he split from Lava. In 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of songs both old and new called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records, a Nashville-based independent record label (at which McCain was the first artist signed following its creation in 2001). Mid-2004 saw the arrival of his first studio album in three years, entitled Scream & Whisper, which was released on another indie label, DRT Entertainment.

He has released two DVDs to date. The first was through ATC records in late 2002, called Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway, and it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material. The other was in late 2004, Tinsel & Tap Shoes. It was his first live concert DVD, recorded at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

A new CD was released in April, 2006 titled, Lost In America. Edwin recently signed a contract with Vanguard Records. This album (#8) is said to be a true "rock 'n roll" collection.
