Titular song from the 1986 comedy-western Uphill All The Way, starring Mel Tillis, Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, and Burl Ives.
A simple but beautiful song written by Mel Tillis himself, with a fantastically melancholy main melody and hook.
Funnily enough this is actually the second song he wrote and re...
[Chorus 1]
Life, is uphill all the way
For those who choose the game to play
Ahh, the desperado
And life, is uphill all the way
And just gets deeper everyday
For the desperado
[Verse 1]
Livin' with the wind
Searching for a friend
Hoping 'round the bend
This loneliness will end
[Chorus 2]
Life, is uphill all the way
And all the dreams just fade away
For the desperado
(Solo)
[Verse 2]
Living by the gun
Is a road with no return
Always on the run
Like raindrops in the sun
[Chorus 3]
Life, is uphill all the way
And all the drеams just fade away
For the despеrado
[Instrumental to fade-out]
