King of the Mountain George Jones

I gave her that diamond she dreamed of
And I bought her a home with a view;
I took her to the ends of the rainbow
But all I left her was blue

Seems I never had time to love her
Now it seems time just stands still;
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

Chorus:
Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill;
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

Chorus:
Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill;
I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill

I thought I was king of the mountain
But I was only a fool on the hill...
