Description

Track 8 from their eleventh studio album and fourteenth release “Where It All Begins” copyright 1994 Sony Music. The album was recorded live in the studio and achieved Gold status in 1997. This would be the last studio album to feature original member Dickey Betts. Shortly after the release of the live album "Peakin' At The Beacon" in 2000, he was asked by the other members to leave until he cleaned up his act. He had been increasingly difficult to work with due to his attitude and level of substance abuse. Feeling unfairly treated, he sued the band, making the split permanent, and received an undisclosed cash settlement. Written by Dickey Betts and produced by Tom Dowd. RIP Tom Dowd, Allen Woody, Butch Trucks, Gregory Lenoir Allman & Dickey Betts. Featuring:

Warren Haynes – Lead vocals, lead, slide & rhythm guitars & background vocals

Everybody's got a mountain to climb
This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes
Sometimes I know you feel like you can't go on
Need somebody help you get back home
Need a friend to help you find your way home

Reverend Pearly Brown say there's peace out on the water at night
Big sun goin' down, Lord it's a pretty sight
Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song
Listen to it all night long

Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Gotta keep on pullin', you gotta keep on tryin'
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Everybody's got a mountain to climb

Who'd cross the face of a little smilin' child?
Take away the loser's one last chance?
Who wouldn't linger down by the old river for a while?
You know the whole world loves you when you're dancin'

So hey, let me tell you what I'm talkin' about
You can't go around with your lip stuck out
Life ain't all good but it sure ain't bad
Anyway, it's the best old life I ever had

Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Gotta keep on pullin', you gotta keep on tryin'
Everybody's got a mountain to climb

Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Gotta keep on pullin', you gotta keep on tryin'
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
