The mountains are a nice escape from the city, fresh air, the outdoors, trees, etc. The smog in LA inspired me to write about how nice it was to escape.

Top of the Mountain Lyrics and Music by Noel Miller Noel Miller ©2008 Intro Leave the clouds for a sky of blue, flyin’ high where I want to Spread my wings takin’ you, to the top of the mountain Verse The palm trees don’t take to lightning too well Beach turns to finger-painted pastel Without the sun the valley melts away Bums on the street run for for cover And frequently say Chorus Leave the clouds for a sky of blue, flyin’ high where I want to Spread my wings takin’ you, to the top of the mountain Leave the clouds for a sky of blue, flyin’ high where I want to Spread my wings takin’ you, to the top of the mountain Verse They call it Mexicano when it isn’t too runny A burrito stuck in the rain ain’t all that funny Spend your life’s savings on lunch in the park Cold and wet you weep in the dark Chorus Leave the clouds for a sky of blue, flyin’ high where I want to Spread my wings takin’ you, to the top of the mountain Leave the clouds for a sky of blue, flyin’ high where I want to Spread my wings takin’ you, to the top of the mountain Bridge LA wasn’t made for rainy days The weeds start growing in my Chevrolet And I guess business will pick up again on Monday Still we’ll be okay And LA wasn’t made for rainy days Chorus So, Leave the clouds for a sky of blue, flyin’ high where I want to Spread my wings takin’ you, to the top of the mountain Repeat chorus
