The Mountain

Her daddy lost most everything

On horses, whiskey, and wedding rings

A little work and luck my friend

I'm gonna buy that mountain back again

California to Tennessee

Fortune has not yet found me

Empty hands and leather skin

Won't buy that mountain back again

Endless nights, Longer roads

None of which have yet led home

C'mon darlin' keep your promise true

Another drink, Another job

And then it's home to you my love

Gonna buy that mountain back for you

Back for you...

Cause if I don't you're an awful lot to lose

When my home again I see

Gonna buy that mountain for you and me

Uphill I'll make the rivers climb

You can swim with the stars in the fading light

Sleep by the river on that mountain high

Endless nights, Longer roads

None of which have yet led home

C'mon darlin' keep your promise true

Another drink, Another job

Then it's home to you my love

Gonna buy that mountain back for you

Back for you...

Cause if I don't it's an awful lot

If I don't it's an awful lot

If I don't you're an awful lot to lose

Gonna buy that mountain back for you

Work these roads until I do
