The Oak Ridge Boys – No Matter How High, is a song written by Even Stevens and Joey Scarbury, and recorded by American country music group The Oak Ridge Boys. It was released in December 1989 as the second single from the album American Dreams. The song was The Oak Ridge Boys’ seventeenth and final number one on the country chart. The single went to number one for one week and spent a total of twenty-one weeks on the country chart.
The music video, directed by Larry Boothby, features each of the Oaks in their hometowns, each visiting with their respective mothers. The original intent was to have the group sing the song to their mothers in the video, however, Duane Allen’s mother was ill at the time, so Boothby decided to incorporate their hometowns, thus avoiding any lengthy or strenuous travel.

The Oak Ridge Boys – No Matter How High Lyrics
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
GENIUS
