When I was a young boy I would dream about life
And wonder just how sweet it would be
But baby I got lucky when I met you that night
Now you'll always have this promise from me

No matter how high I get
I'll always look up to you
You’ll always be number one
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get

Up here on the mountain it gets crazy sometimes
So crazy I don't know what to do
When I've had it up to here with all of their lies
I can count on you to tell me the truth

No matter how high I get
I'll always look up to you
You’ll always be number one
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get

You are the one that turned me around
You help me keep my feet on the ground

No matter how high I get
I'll always look up to you
You’ll always be number one
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high

No matter how high I get
I'll always look up to you
You’ll always be number one
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high

No matter how high I get
I'll always look up to you
You’ll always be number one
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby, I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get

The Oak Ridge Boys are an American country and gospel vocal quartet. The group was founded in the 1940s as the Oak Ridge Quartet. They became popular in southern gospel during the 1950s. Their name was officially changed to the Oak Ridge Boys in the early 1960s, and they remained a gospel group until the mid-1970s, when they changed their image and concentrated on country music.

The lineup which produced their most world-famous and most well-known country and crossover hits (such as “Elvira”, “Bobbie Sue”, and “American Made”) consists of Duane Allen (lead), Joe Bonsall (tenor), William Lee Golden (baritone), and Richard Sterban (bass). Golden and Allen joined the group in the mid-1960s, and Sterban and Bonsall joined in the early 1970s. Aside from an eight-year gap (1987–95) when Golden left the group and was replaced, this lineup has been together since 1973 and continues to tour and record.
