Tanner Mountain

Well, this one will probably be the last song I post for a few days or weeks. I'm going dry. Tell me what you think and any suggestions if you would. Where you see the underscore is where the vocal is dragged out a little.


I slapped on some Seger
and cracked open a beer
Put down my tailgate
and plopped down right there
Looked out at the mountains
and drew in the air
swingin my feet
as the wind combed my hair

Heavens here_______
On Tanner Mountain
If not it's near_____
And close enough for me
Yes, heaven's here____
On Tanner Mountain
And there's nowhere else on earth I wanna be

I dug in the cooler
and pulled out some shine
It burnt goin down
but it tasted just fine
And as the sun started setting
I bathed in it's glow
Feeling it's warmth
Penetrate to my soul

Heavens here_______
On Tanner Mountain
If not it's near_____
And close enough for me
Yes, heaven's here____
On Tanner Mountain
And there's nowhere else on earth I wanna be

I grew up on this mountain top
and this is where they'll bury me
It's the closest place to paradise
any place on earth can be

Heavens here_______
On Tanner Mountain
If not it's near_____
And close enough for me
Yes, heaven's here____
On Tanner Mountain
And there's nowhere else on earth I wanna be

If you took out "right"in the fourth line,to me,it would bounce just right.(I really am aware of the rhythm of lines)Also the "And"in the last line of the chorus,same thing.Otherwise Perfectamundo!

Wow, thanks Doug. Appreciate the input. I thought I needed those words, but on another reading, your right. Thanks, I'll make the change on my re-write.

Thanks Ricky I appreciate it. I don't consider myself that good, but I do have some stuff I'm proud of.
