Biography:
Town Mountain is an American bluegrass band from Asheville, North Carolina.
The band occupies the common ground between traditional bluegrass, outlaw country, and pure old time mountain music. It's a group that harnesses the frantic energy of the modern punk string band, yet still remains respectfully rooted in the tradition of Bill Monroe. The band has one foot proudly planted in the path of traditional bluegrass, and one foot stepping out into the unknown forefront of American string music.

[Verse 1]
D G
When you see me out tonight tearing up the promenade
D
People stop and step aside so I can move along
G
Is it just because they're friendly or the fact that I am gone
D
Stepping over lines of the paths they travel on?
[Chorus]
C G
Living on the high side
D
Better keep it on the low down
C G
Get to feeling just right
D
Think I’ll have to go and sit down
[Verse 2]
D G
Do you reckon that they notice? Do you think that they believe?
D
I've gotten into meanness on the dark end of the street
G
Do my eyes tell my condition? Does my breath show where I've been?
D
Am I talking any louder than the comp’ny that I'm in
[Chorus]
C G
Living on the high side
D
Better keep it on the low down
C G
Get to feeling just right
D
Think I’ll have to go and sit down
[Bridge]
A
Sweating like a preacher in the presence of the Lord
G
Shaking like a leaf in the middle of a storm
D G
Jawin' my bone trying to make you see
A
I wouldn't much fret if my friends were all here
G
But there's people in the corner and they're starting to stare
D
Having a ball poking fun at me
[Chorus]
C G
Living on the high side
D
Better keep it on the low down
C G
Get to feeling just right
D
Think I’ll have to go and sit down
C G
Straighten up and try to act right
D
Keep it on the lowdown
D G
