Alpine Wine Lyrics

I'm long overdue I'm well past time

To trade this rendezvous for a trapline

Lord, I need a swaller but not the drinking kind

I'm thirsty for the freedom in a mountain peace of mind

Gimme that alpine wine

Gimme that way up whiskey

Pour me a pint of them rolling hills a'plenty

Cause it brings me back to earth

And reminds me I'm not dead

Gimme that alpine wine

Flowing ponderosa red

Life up high ain't easy it'll make you shake and shiver

The snow falls in June and the melt-off feeds the river

There's danger in them hills and death round each turn

But that sounds sweeter than them civilized concerns

Gimme that alpine wine

Gimme that way up whiskey

Pour me a pint of them rolling hills a'plenty

Cause it brings me back to earth

And reminds me I'm not dead

Gimme that alpine wine

Flowing ponderosa red

Up with the bighorns

Just below the eagles

Living by my terms

Wild, free and peaceful

So high up I'm betting

The embers of my fire

Can float on up to heaven

And hear the sound of an angel choir

Gimme that alpine wine

Gimme that way up whiskey

Pour me a pint of them rolling hills a'plenty

Cause it brings me back to earth

And reminds me I'm not dead

Gimme that alpine wine

Flowing ponderosa red

Gimme that alpine wine

Flowing ponderosa red
