King Of The Mountain - George Strait

(Paul Nelson/Larry Boone)

I gave her that diamond she dreamed of, 
And I bought her a home with a view. 
I took her to the end of the rainbow, 
But all I left her was blue. 
Seems I never had time to love her, 
And now it seems time just stands still. 

I thought I was king of the mountain, 
But I was only a fool on the hill. 

Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely 
Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill. 
I thought I was king of the mountain, 

But I was only a fool on the hill. 
Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely 

Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill. 
I thought I was king of the mountain, 
But I was only a fool on the hill. 

Yeah, I thought I was king of the mountain, 
But I was only a fool on the hill.
